The short version

Navistar, Inc. reported a problem with the service brakes. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The brake fluid level indicator (FLI) may not properly detect a low brake fluid level situation and warn the driver.

WHY IT MATTERS

Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low. A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the FLI switch free of charge.
