Service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
03/31/1989 - 10/31/1989
Affected:
10,459
Defect:
The throttle valve inside the hydraulic brake booster may deform from buildup of heat and pressure and close-off fluid return ports.
Consequence:
This could cause excessive pressure buildup in thebooster causing the brakes to self apply with a severe unexpected stop. thiscondition could also result in loss of power steering assist. either conditioncould result in an accident.
Correction:
Replace brake booster assembly.
Notes:
System: hydraulic brake booster.vehicle description: truck.

Campaign:
92V102000 on 07/30/1992
Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Manufactured:
08/31/1978 - 06/30/1992
Affected:
185,000
Defect:
The fuel system failed the crash barrier test.
Consequence:
The fuel tank was punctured, resulting in fluid lossgreater than allowed by fmvss 301, "fuel system integrity". fuel spills ina collision could lead to a vehicle fire if exposed to a source of ignition.
Correction:
Modify the fuel tank cage to comply with fmvss 301.
Notes:
System: fuel tank assembly; fmvss 301.vehicle description: school buses with 35 gallon or 65 gallon fuel tanks andfuel tank cage systems.note: it is important that all affected buses be remedied. however, the recallshould not cause parents or school officials to be unduly alarmed. nhtsa isunaware of any actual crashes in which the fuel system of a navistar chassisruptured. many of the school buses involved in the recall have been in servicefor more than 12 years, and there has not been a single recorded fatalitybecause of a fire.

Campaign:
95V127000 on 06/27/1995
Component:
Vehicle speed control:cables
Manufactured:
05/31/1988 - 02/28/1991
Affected:
21,742
Defect:
The wire end of the hand throttle cable passes through a split plastic grommet in the accelerator rod. this wire can work through the slot in the grommet and become lodged between the grommet and the edge of the hole in the accelerator rod.
Consequence:
If the throttle wire becomes lodged, the accelerator can stick and not return to idle position potentially affecting the operator's ability to control the vehicle and increasing the potential for an accident.
Correction:
Dealers will repair buses by installing a new cable grommet without a slot; install a new cable stop; and readjust the throttle cable.
Notes:
System: fuel; throttle linkages; accelerator; flexible.vehicle description: school buses.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:
Exterior lighting:turn signal:switch
Manufactured:
12/31/1980 - 07/31/1994
Affected:
171,638
Defect:
These buses have a turn signal lever that will not operate consistently in the lane change mode if the lever is not moved to the position where resistance to movement is felt.
Consequence:
Should the rear signal lamps not flash when a lane change was being made, it could result in a vehicle following the bus to collide with the bus increasing the risk of personal injury and/or property damage.
Correction:
Operators will be mailed information concerning the proper method of using turn signals. a decal will also be provided to be placed on the instrument panel of each bus.
