Fatal crashes in the US
From 2020 to 2023, 23 9900I vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 7 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

The back-up lights offer low visibility when the vehicle is in reverse and bobtail mode. Also, the vehicles have not been equipped with additional unobstructed back-up lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017-2018 International ProStar and 9900i trucks, 2018-2019 International LT trucks, 2017-2019 International LoneStar and HX trucks and 2017 International PayStar trucks, equipped with Cummins ISX15 or X15 diesel engines. In certain driving conditions, such as on a long down-hill grade, the fuel line may burst if the fuel pump cooling circuit screen becomes restricted.
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2016 International DuraStar, LoneStar, ProStar, TerraStar, TranStar, WorkStar, 9900i, and IC Bus HC vehicles equipped with certain Spicer D or E series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017 International ProStar, LoneStar, 9900i, and TranStar trucks. The affected vehicles have a metallic battery cover latch that may unlatch and contact the battery jump start stud, causing an electrical short to ground if the jump start stud is not covered.
NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2003 THROUGH 2008 HEAVY TRUCKS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 1, 2003 AND DECEMBER 21, 2007, EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR C15 ENGINES. THE VARIABLE VALVE ACTUATION (VVA) OIL LINE MAY WEAR AGAINST THE P-CLIPS RETAINING THE OIL LINE, CAUSING AN OIL LEAK.

ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE FRONT, NON-DRIVE AXLE, COTTER KEYS AND SPINDLE NUT RETAINERS WERE NOT INSTALLED. THE COTTER KEY AND SPINDLE NUT RETAINER PREVENT THE SPINDLE NUT FROM LOOSENING AND THUS AID IN WHEEL RETENTION.
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, ONLY EIGHT (8) BOLTS WERE INSTALLED IN THE BRAKE GROUP CONNECTION TO THE REAR AXLES. THE BRAKE GROUP, AN ASSEMBLY THAT INCLUDES THE BRAKE SHOES, AIR CHAMBERS, SLACK ADJUSTERS, AND SPIDER, IR NORMALLY ATTACHED TO THE AXLE HOUSING WITH NINE (9) BOLTS.
