28 commercial carrier journal | october 2016 • Navistar International Corp. recalled 3,952 ProStar trucks from model years 2014 to 2017 because a battery-mounted cube fuse terminal connection built with the battery box mounted between the frame rails possibly may break, resulting in loss of power to the cab. The recalled medium- and heavy-duty trucks were manufactured between June 11, 2013, and May 19, 2016. • International Trucks is making Bendix's ABS-8 Advanced antilock braking system, valves and air dryers standard equipment. Trucks equipped with Navistar-branded engines also will get Bendix air compressors as standard: BA-921 for 13-liter engines, and Tu-Flo for 9- and 10-liter models. International also now offers as an option Bendix's full wheel-end portfolio. • International is offering an integrat- ed powertrain warranty package for DuraStar trucks equipped with Cum- mins ISB6.7 engines, an Eaton Procision transmission and Dana Spicer axles and driveshafts. • Peterbilt's 567 and 579 models now are available with Bendix Wingman Fusion, an advanced driver assistance safety system. Also, Hendrickson's Softek NXT integrated monoleaf suspension and steer axle system now is available on Peterbilt's 567 and 579 set-forward-axle models. • Peterbilt's Models 320, 520 and 567 soon will be available with the Cummins West- port ISL-G Near Zero NOx emissions nat- ural gas engine. The 320-hp engine offers 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque and has a three-way aftertreatment catalyst, advanced engine calibration and a closed crankcase venti- lation system. • Kenworth added a set-forward front axle configuration to its T880. The T880S is suited for ready-mix, dump and mobile crane applications and is available with a 114-inch BBC and 28-inch bumper setting. • Cummins added two new peak torque ratings to its 450-hp ISX12 designed for line-haul and regional markets. A 1,650 lb.-ft. rating provides the same performance as the company's 15- and 13-liter engines but at a lighter weight to facilitate more payload capacity. A 1,450/1,650 lb.-ft. rating is suited for tank and bulk haulers that transport heavy material and return lighter or empty. • Eaton added three higher-torque- rated clutches to its remanufactured clutch line. Available in torque ranges of up to 2,050 lb.-ft., the additions are suited for later-model trucks and include two remanufactured Easy Pedal designs and one Solo design. • Timken expanded the limited warranty for its wheel-end components when purchased and installed together. The warranty depends on mileage and rang- es from five to seven years for trailers and two to five years for tractors.
