What's wrong?
The steering gear on 2014-2015 International Durastar trucks is the part that turns steering-wheel movement into motion at the front wheels. It is bolted to the frame so it stays fixed while the steering linkage moves. Those mounting bolts carry the load every time the driver turns, parks, or corrects course on the road.
In this recall, the steering gear mounting bolts are the problem. The bolts used on certain Durastar trucks can fail where they secure the gear to the frame. Once that happens, the steering gear no longer stays firmly mounted. The driver can feel looseness in the steering, or steering control can be lost.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign after a bolt fails is steering that feels loose, abnormal, or no longer responds the way it should.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2014 and 2015 Durastar model years, with the same steering-system component listed for both.

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?
Reduced or lost steering makes the International Durastar harder to control and increases the risk of a crash. If steering response drops, pull over when safe and arrange service before using the truck again. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 International Durastar is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised International dealer and ask whether the steering-gear mounting-bolt inspection and replacement is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 14V062 when you call, and mention Navistar campaign 14502 if the dealer asks for the manufacturer number.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. The dealer repair is free.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and stop driving if the steering feels loose or hard to control.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an International technician inspects the bolts that mount the steering gear to the frame. If the bolts need replacement, the technician replaces them under the recall. Parts and labor are free. The source remedy says owners were notified and the recall repair began on February 19, 2014, so call an International dealer with your VIN and ask the service desk to confirm the open campaign and parts handling before the truck goes in.
