- Manufactured:
- 03/31/1995 - 04/30/1995
- Affected:
- 278
- Defect:
- These vehicles were built with an improperly plumbed brake system which affects the braking on the rear axle when running either bobtail or pulling a trailer.
- Consequence:
- This condition can affect the stopping ability of the vehicle because the front steer axle brakes and trailer's brakes would be doing most of the braking. increased stopping distances would be required causing accelerated wear on the steer axle and the trailer brakes.
- Correction:
- Navistar dealers will inspect vehicles and repair by installing brake lines and fittings as required.
- Notes:
- System: brakes; hydraulic; lines; nonmetallic.vehicle description: truck tractors built with proportional brakes.note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

- Component:
- Service brakes, air:slack adjusters
- Manufactured:
- 10/06/1996 - 11/13/2000
- Affected:
- 2,855
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with air brake haldex automatic slack adjusters, long stroke brake chambers, and dana brakes. the automatic slack adjuster anchor brackets can fail due to fatigue fracture and completely separate, causing the slack adjusters to function as manual slack adjusters.
- Consequence:
- If the support bracket for an automatic slack adjuster fails, the brakes at that wheel end will not automatically adjust. as the brake linings wear, the vehicle will have reduced braking capacity, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a new bracket on each suspect slack adjuster. owner notification began february 22, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
