What's wrong?
The wheels on the 2010-2011 International Lonestar are the aluminum rims that hold the tires, carry the truck's weight, and keep each tire centered on the hub as the truck rolls. This recall covers trucks equipped with styled aluminum wheels under feature code 27DRS or 27DRT. The wheel has to stay solid through heavy loads, road vibration, and braking forces.
On affected Lonestar trucks, cracks can form in the wheel spokes. The spokes are the structural arms between the hub area and the outer rim. As the truck keeps moving, those cracks can grow over time. If a crack reaches the point of wheel failure, the wheel can separate from the truck.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall does not list a driver symptom such as noise, vibration, or a warning light before the wheel fails.
Who's affected?
Covers both 2010 and 2011 model years, with the same wheel hardware listed for each.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Wheel separation increases crash risk and can result in property damage, injury, or death. Drive cautiously until the wheel replacement is complete, and schedule the repair with the dealer as soon as it is available. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.
What should I do?
