What's wrong
NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2013 INTERNATIONAL DURASTAR TRUCKS, MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 12, 2012, THROUGH MARCH 19, 2012, EQUIPPED WITH CAB CODES 16030 OR 16AAK. THE WINDSHIELD AND BACKLIGHT GLASS ON THESE VEHICLES WERE INSTALLED WITHOUT PRIMER SEAL APPLICATION. OVER TIME, THIS MAY CAUSE SEPARATION FROM THE CAB.
The risk

The fix
NAVISTAR WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD AND BACKLIGHT GLASS ON AFFECTED VEHICLES, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 18, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NAVISTAR AT 1-800-448-7825.

Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
