Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 16508 is the number International assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V556000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Which vehicles does 16508 cover?

2014–2017 International Prostar, 3,952 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 16508 repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
