Retail notes and related security interests in the financed vehicles and a beneficial interest in a pool of commercial retail leases financing vehicles (the "Retail Contracts") were transferred to the Trust in exchange for fixed or floating rate notes (the "Notes") and pass-through certificates (the "Certificates") which were registered on Registration Statement No. 333-62445 and sold to the public in reliance on Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933.

Schedule 13 Page 3 of 3 Navistar Financial 2001 - A Owner Trust For the Months of November 2003 to October 2004 Fiscal Year 2004 At each Distribution Date, an annualized loss percentage is computed. If the annualized percentage exceeds 1.5%, any monthly excess servicing is transferred to the reserve account to 10.0% of the ending receivable balance. When the annualized loss percentage falls to or below 1.5%, the reserve account requirement returns to the greater of the specified target amount or the specified minimum balance. The annualized loss percentage is calculated as follows: The numerator of which is equal to the sum of the aggregate losses plus liquidation proceeds for each of the monthly periods which are the fifth, fourth and third monthly periods preceding the monthly period related to such Distribution Date, minus the sum of the liquidation proceeds for the monthly periods which are the first, second and third monthly periods preceding the monthly period related to such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the sum of the remaining gross balances of all outstanding receivables as of the last day of each of the sixth, fifth and fourth monthly periods preceding the monthly period related to such Distribution Date. The annualized loss (recovery) percentages reported at each Distribution Date are as follows: November 2003 -0.6676% May 2004 -0.2571% December 2003 -2.5181% June 2004 -0.2395% January 2004 -0.1952% July 2004 -1.0856% February 2004 -0.7049% August 2004 -0.6388% March 2004 -0.5008% September 2004 -0.8680% April 2004 -0.1239% October 2004 -0.3781% At each Distribution Date a three-month rolling average delinquency percentage is calculated. If this percentage exceeds 2.0%, any monthly excess servicing is used to fund the reserve account to 10.0% of the ending receivable balance. When the delinquency percentage falls below 2.0%, the reserve account requirement returns to the greater of the specified target amount or the specified minimum balance. The delinquency percentage is calculated as follows: The numerator of which is equal to the aggregate remaining gross balances of all outstanding receivables which are 61 days or more past due as of the last day of the related monthly period and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate remaining gross balances of all outstanding receivables on the last day of such monthly period. The three month rolling averages reported at each Distribution Date are as follows: November 2003 0.93790% May 2004 0.96198% December 2003 0.99293% June 2004 0.98837% January 2004 1.09755% July 2004 0.96227% February 2004 1.13552% August 2004 0.90434% March 2004 1.07023% September 2004 0.96865% April 2004 0.93923% October 2004 0.99445%
