All International Harvester Paystar recalls (3)

Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a International Harvester Paystar, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Anchorage (seat belts)

    NHTSA 86V052000 Reported 5,940 vehicles potentially affected NAVISTAR INTL CORP.

    The seat belts loosen as truck is driven. The non locking retractor takes up any belt slack, giving false impression that the belt is still tight. Consequence of defect: the defect can increase the possibility of injury to the belt wearer in event of a vehicle crash.

    Remedy: Replace inboard driver and passenger seat belt halves with longer belts that assure proper locking angle between belt webbing and buckle.

    Model years: 1985, 1986

  2. Fuel injection system (fuel system)

    NHTSA 86V046000 Reported 10,002 vehicles potentially affected NAVISTAR INTL CORP.

    The fuel injection pump throttle shaft bushing may be contaminated with a heat sensitive liquid polymer which can solidify on the bushing at normal engine operating temperature and cause the throttle to stick. Consequence of defect: throttle lever may stick and not return to low idle position after accelerator pedal is released. This…

    Remedy: Replace fuel injection pump governor housing with a new housing containing new bushings free of contamination.

    Model years: 1985, 1986
