Navistar recalls 1,400 trucks for two brakes issues
Two separate recalls involving brakes from Navistar affect more than 1,400 International trucks, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents.
One recall includes approximately 845 model year 2021 International HV, LT, MV and RH trucks equipped with Bendix pressure switches. According to the recall, a retainer was not properly seated in the SC-3 single check valve and may not provide source air isolation when pressure is applied.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the SC-3 check valves, free of charge. Owners can contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 with recall number 21503. NHTSA’s recall number is 21V-227.
