The drive pin which secures the brake pedal arm to the balance of the assembly may become disengaged, which may cause a reduction in vehicle braking or cause the brake pedal to move out of position and interfere with the throttle pedal function.
A reduction in braking or interference with the throttle pedal could result in a vehicle crash.
Navistar is working with Kongsberg to remedy the problem. Navistar will receive kits and inspect and install a C-clamp on the adjustable brake pedal. The repair will be performed free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin around Feb. 12. For more information, owners may call Navistar at 800.685.6545. Callers should reference Navistar safety recall No. R09004.
