What’s wrong with it?
WHEN THE LINKAGE SEPARATES, THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER ARM WILL NO LONGER OPERATE WHICH COULD LEAD TO REDUCED DRIVER VISIBILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 THROUGH 2011 INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR AND LONESTAR HEAVY TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM JANUARY 2, 2007 THROUGH JUNE 1, 2010.
THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE ROD MAY SEPARATE FROM EITHER THE WIPER DRIVE ARM OR PASSENGER SIDE PIVOT ASSEMBLY.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
