Defect Description

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. In the affected vehicles, the brake fluid level indicator (FLI) may not properly detect a low brake fluid level situation and warn the driver.

Consequence / Hazard

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.

Proposed Solution

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.
