Engine And Engine Cooling › Exhaust System (14V574000, 2014-09-19)
Problem: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Workhorse W62 Commercial Chassis manufactured June 21, 2010, to October 2, 2012. In the affected vehicles, the weld joining the right hand side exhaust down pipe to the exhaust manifold may fatigue.
Risk: A failure of the weld may allow hot exhaust gases to enter the engine compartment, increasing the risk of a fire.
Free fix: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will install support brackets on the right and left hand exhaust down pipes and a catalyst spacer bar to prevent swaying. Any cracked down pipes will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on November 17, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 61401-C.
Service Brakes (13V512000, 2013-10-17)
Problem: Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2012 Workhorse Custom Chassis W42 and W62 vehicles, manufactured from July 13, 2012, through October 12, 2012, and equipped with hydraulic brakes.

Risk: Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low. A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Navistar has notified owners, and dealers will replace the FLI switch free of charge. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's recall campaign number is 51302-C.
