2012 INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR — Complaint #1030859

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:INTEGRATED JACK/LEVELER/STABILIZER filed January 7, 2014

NHTSA complaint #1030859 (ODI reference 10558905) concerns a 2012 INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR and was filed on January 7, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 26, 2012. The vehicle had 14,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Minnesota based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:mechanical:integrated jack/leveler/stabilizer, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR cohort independently describe similar equipment:mechanical:integrated jack/leveler/stabilizer failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2012 INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
