Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

An electrical short to ground increases the risk of a fire.

Navistar, Inc.

(Navistar) is recalling certain 2017 International ProStar, LoneStar, 9900i, and TranStar trucks.

The affected vehicles have a metallic battery cover latch that may unlatch and contact the battery jump start stud, causing an electrical short to ground if the jump start stud is not covered.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
