What's wrong?
The turbocharger oil supply line on the 2014-2015 International Transtar carries engine oil to the turbocharger, the part that uses exhaust flow to help push more air into the engine. That oil supply line needs clear routing so it can feed the turbocharger without rubbing against nearby intake and control parts.
On affected trucks with Cummins Westport ISL G engines, the line sits too close to the turbocharger inlet elbow, the clean air intake clamp, or the air fuel control tube. Installation variation in the clean air piping, oil line, or air fuel control tube leaves enough interference for the parts to contact each other. That contact damages the oil supply line and lets engine oil leak.
The warning sign is visible during inspection: damage to the turbocharger oil supply line or signs of an oil leak. If oil is leaking near hot engine parts, the truck needs dealer attention before the leak turns into an engine fire risk.
Who's affected?
Both model years list the same turbo/supercharger component, so matching the year and model is only the first filter.

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?
An oil leak from the turbocharger oil supply line near the engine exhaust manifold increases the risk of a fire, according to NHTSA campaign 15V755. Treat visible oil leakage or line damage as a reason to call the dealer and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 International Transtar is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised International dealer to schedule the free inspection and oil-supply-line repair that fixes turbocharger-line interference and oil leaks near the exhaust manifold.
- Bring the recall notice if International mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V755 when you call.
- Watch for oil leaks or a burning-oil smell, and park the vehicle if you see or smell either before the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an International technician inspects the turbocharger oil supply line for contact with the turbocharger inlet elbow, clean air intake clamp, or air fuel control tube. If the line is interfering with another part or shows damage, the technician removes the interference and replaces the oil supply line when needed. The recall repair is free. International has a general reimbursement plan on file for related repairs paid before the recall notice. Bring repair invoices or other documentation to the service desk.
