The problem

Truck-Lite Company, LLC (Truck-Lite) is recalling certain right-hand incandescent halogen headlights, part numbers Truck-Lite 27628C, 27628C7, Navistar 4049970C91, 4049970C92, 4049970C93, and 4049970C94, for installation on Navistar International LT-series trucks. The headlights may have incorrect "VOL" markings when they should be marked as "VOR." These headlights are correctly designed to be visually/optically aimed.

The risk

If the headlights have incorrect markings, when they are replaced, the headlights may be aimed incorrectly, decreasing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Truck-Lite will notify owners and will send them a "DOT VOR" label to install, free of charge. The recall began November 26, 2018. Owners may contact International Trucks Customer Service Center at 1-800-448-7825.
