Defect

Safety risk

If the roof hatch external handle breaks, in the event of an emergency, the hatch cannot be easily opened from outside the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the outer handle, free of charge. The recall began October 7, 2019. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 19513.
