SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
- The defect
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2021 International LT, RH, MV, and HV vehicles equipped with Bendix pressure switches. A retainer was not properly seated in the SC-3 single check valve and may not provide source air isolation when pressure is applied. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- Unintended spring brake application may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the SC-3 check valves, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 28, 2021. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 21503.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 845 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
International vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 24 times before this, most recently in November 2019 as 19V838000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 22 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V459000 (electrical system), 25V817000 (electrical system), 25V502000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V178000 (service brakes, air).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Navistar, Inc. with NHTSA on April 1, 2021 as campaign 21V227000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
