The defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2018-2019 International LT trucks. When the hood is in the closed position, the fender splash panel may rub on the inlet fuel line fitting to the fuel/water separator, causing abrasion damage to the fitting and possibly resulting in a fuel leak.
The risk
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. Additionally, fuel leaking onto the roadway may increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will trim the splash panel, and replace the fuel/water inlet line if it is damaged, free of charge. The recall began on May 14, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 18503.
