NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL CORP. LAWSUIT

If you are a current or former purchaser or lessee of 2009-2013 model year
Navistar International Corporation (“Navistar”) vehicles equipped with Maxxforce
Advanced EGR diesel engines, you may have legal claims against Navistar due to
an engine defect and should contact an attorney to discuss your rights.




WHO OR WHAT IS NAVISTAR?

Navistar is a major manufacturer of commercial trucks and diesel engines, as
well as military trucks, commercial buses, and school buses. It also provides
service and parts for trucks and diesel engines. Navistar sells its vehicles and
engines throughout the United States.


WHAT IS THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL CORP. LAWSUIT?

The emissions system on Navistar Maxxforce Advanced Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(“EGR”) diesel engines (the “Maxxforce Engines”) has led to repeated failures
and may be defective. The Maxxforce Engines are not reliable compared to either
Navistar’s previous engines or competitors’ engines, in that they cannot handle
the amount of heat and pressure they generate, leading to broken EGR valves,
exhaust leaks that melt and destroy other engine components, and EGR cooler
failures, which send uncooled exhaust gas back into the engine causing it to
shut down. The added stress of having non-flammable coolant pushed out the
exhaust valves in the cylinder head destroys the head gasket, which joins the
head to the cylinders, and the engine has to be rebuilt.

This problem has rendered the Maxxforce Engines unreasonably dangerous, creating
numerous safety concerns for drivers and other motorists. Specifically, the
alleged defect leads to sudden breakdowns, forcing the affected trucks, often
heavily loaded with cargo, to pull to the side of the road. It also can cause
coolant and exhaust fumes to enter the passenger compartment of the affected
trucks, creating a risk of driver poisoning from the fumes.


AFFECTED NAVISTAR VEHICLES

Navistar sold trucks containing the allegedly defective EGR-based Maxxforce
Engines under its International brand name, including the following models:

 * International Prostar and Lonestar, which are heavy-duty, long haul tractor
   trailer trucks
 * International Transtar, a heavy-duty, regional haul truck
 * International Workstar and Paystar, severe-duty trucks used for construction
   applications, such as dump trucks
 * International Loadstar, a severe-duty cab forward truck used for various
   applications, including garbage trucks and airplane refueling trucks


DAMAGE TO CONSUMERS

The Maxxforce Engines have failed or are substantially likely to fail in the
future. Owners and Lessees have had to repair or replace these engines and/or
other parts damaged by EGR system failure repeatedly, often at their own
expense, and often after Navistar failed to properly repair them pursuant to the
warranty.

The trucking industry is well aware of the problems with the Maxxforce Engines.
Customers who bought trucks with Maxxforce Engines are now stuck with an
unfixable problem. Further, the alleged defect in the Maxxforce Engines has led
to extended periods in which customers’ commercial vehicles were unable to
perform.

Navistar has failed to honor its warranties and properly repair the emissions
system in the Maxxforce Engines. At best, Navistar replaced the emissions system
with another equally failure-prone system, never properly remedying the problem.


FAILURE TO MEET EPA STANDARDS

In 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) announced that it
would, for trucks manufactured for the 2010 model year forward, impose new,
strict emissions standards. Every manufacturer selling commercial trucks in the
U.S. except Navistar chose to meet the 2010 EPA Standards with Selective
Catalytic Reduction (“SCR”), which treated engine exhaust with a urea-based
chemical after it left the engine.

Instead of SCR, Navistar alone chose EGR technology to meet the 2010 EPA
Standards, which purportedly would reduce emissions by subjecting exhaust
flowing out of the engine to a second burn in the cylinders. While many
commercial and passenger engines use EGR systems of some kind, no manufacturer
had ever produced an engine that recirculated such a large percentage of engine
exhaust into the cylinders, generating far more heat within the engines than in
SCR-based engines.


NAVISTAR ACTIVELY CONCEALED THE ALLEGED DEFECT DESPITE WIDESPREAD COMPLAINTS

The Internet is replete with numerous complaints about the Navistar Maxxforce
Engines. Complaints by truck owners demonstrate how widespread and potentially
dangerous the problem is, how it manifests without warning, and how aware
Navistar is of the problem.

While facing numerous warranty claims on EGR defects in its Maxxforce Engines,
Navistar continued to tout EGR as the future of emissions technology and failed
to disclose that the alleged defect was, in truth, not fixable. Navistar blamed
the warranty claims on manufacturing problems (which it claimed to have
resolved), and continued to portray the Maxxforce Engines as reliable. In fact,
these were the same problems experienced with Navistar EGR-based diesel engines
since 2004, and Navistar knew they would continue as long as EPA standards
became stricter and as long as Navistar stayed with the EGR system.


NAVISTAR’S LONG-DELAYED ABANDONMENT OF EGR

In July 2012, Navistar finally announced that it was abandoning EGR and would
adopt the SCR technology for the 2013 model year. Even after announcing its
coming switch to SCR technology, Navistar continued to sell the EGR-based
Maxxforce Engines and failed to disclose their defects to consumers.


WANT TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE LEGAL OPTIONS?
