What was recalled

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2020 International HV 6X4 vehicles.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the NQRMV with a QRMV, free of charge. The recall began January 9, 2020. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 19519.. Follow the official notice for full instructions.
