What's wrong?

The wheels on 2010-2011 International Lonestar trucks are the metal structures that hold the tires, bolt to the hubs, and carry the truck's weight as it rolls. On trucks with the Harley Davidson option package and feature codes 27DRV and 28DRV, those wheels must stay round, solid, and firmly attached while taking road impacts and load stress.

On affected trucks, corrosion and fatigue weaken the wheel material over time. Small cracks can start in the wheel and grow as the truck is driven. If a crack progresses far enough, the wheel can separate from the vehicle, leaving that corner of the truck without the support and control the wheel is supposed to provide.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on noise, vibration, or a visible crack to appear before the wheel fails.

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?

When the wheel defect occurs, the driver can lose control of the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. Confirm the VIN and schedule dealer service soon; keep the truck out of service if it feels unsafe. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.

What happens at the repair

Once the repair is available for your VIN, an International technician will replace the affected wheels covered by this recall. The remedy is a wheel replacement, not an adjustment or inspection only. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the dealer repair is free once it opens. Before you bring the truck in, ask the International dealer to confirm that the recall applies to your VIN and that the replacement wheels are ready.
