- Component:
- Exterior lighting:brake lights:switch
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1998 - 07/01/2000
- Affected:
- 28,010
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. the brake light switch and the cruise control switch are mounted in such a way as to allow moisture within the air brake system to collect inside the switches. if the moisture in the switches freezes, the brake lights may not function and the cruise control might not disengage when the brake pedal is depressed.
- Consequence:
- If the switches freeze, the results could be no brake lights to warn following vehicles and an extended stopping distance if the cruise control does not disengage as expected when the brake pedal is pressed.
- Correction:
- Dealers will re-mount the air manifold and switches to a proven, trouble-free orientation.
- Notes:

- Affected:
- 79,465
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: medium and heavy duty trucks built with bendix air abs with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (ecu). there have been reports of unwanted abs activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed abs wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.
- Consequence:
- This condition could cause the abs ecu to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. this could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the abs ecu.

- Affected:
- 3,762
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with tie rod assemblies containing 24-dl model ball sockets and manufactured by trw. certain of the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below-specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket.
- Consequence:
- If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the defective ball sockets and/or drag links. owner notification began march 23, 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.

- Affected:
- 18,348
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with axle assemblies which may have been manufactured with trw model 20edl ball sockets/drag links. the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket in some applications.

- Campaign:
- 02V135002 on 09/05/2002
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
- Manufactured:
- 08/10/1997 - 01/27/2002
- Affected:
- 108,560
- Defect:
- On certain medium and heavy duty trucks, a brass fitting connects the double check valve to the brake relay valve. with certain inputs to the vehicle, the weight of the check valve on the fitting can cause the assembly to resonate. the subject vibration can cause excessive strain levels in the fitting, which could eventually fatigue and fail.
- Consequence:
- If the fitting breaks, the rear service brakes will cease to operate without warning, resulting in an extended stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a kit to remount the double check valve with a flexible hose on the majority of vehicles. on a small number of units with clearance issues or traction control, a kit with a new relay valve that has a built-in double check valve will be installed. owner notification began september 11, 2002. 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.
