The defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2019 International WorkStar and International HV vehicles equipped with Meritor MX-14-120 EVO steer axles. The axles may have insufficient lubrication, which may result in damage to the wheel end bearings.
The risk
If the bearings are damaged, the wheel may separate and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash.
