   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain heavy duty trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." the primary and secondary air supply hoses from the foot valve to the primary and secondary air tanks were improperly routed at the tank.

   Visibility / Windshield Wiper/Washer

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain heavy duty trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 104, "windshield wiping and washing systems." due to the design of the windshield washer pump motor circuit, the system's ability to function is impaired when it is full of frozen water and the pump motor shaft is locked or frozen (cannot rotate).

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Any resultant reduced visibility could cause a crash.

4. 03V062000Received 25 Feb 2003. 35,074 units.

   Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Disc

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain school and transit buses built with bosch zero offset pin slide (zops) hydraulic disc brakes, the zops hydraulic disc brakes may experience calipers sticking in the applied position, which can result in excessive or abnormal heat generation at one or more of the brakes.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The combination of the following factors may collectively result in an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety: potential fire at a wheel end, high incident rates of stuck calipers, and evacuation and containment concerns relating to multiple passengers.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   International will notify its customers and repair the buses free of charge. The recall began october 29, 2004.

5. 02V174000Received 12 Jul 2002. 13,052 units.

   Power Train / Clutch Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with manual transmissions, lower clutch rods with turnbuckles are failing from fatigue near the turnbuckle due to bending forces experienced during each clutch pedal cycle.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The clutch rod can break without warning and make it difficult to shift and if the clutch rod breaks while the vehicle is stopped or decelerating, the vehicle could lunge unexpectedly in the direction of the selected gear, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the clutch rod assembly with a solid rod design that does not have a turnbuckle. Owner notification began july 19, 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.

   Exterior Lighting / Headlights / Switch

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. These vehicles could experience a loss of the low beam headlights, the high beam headlights, or both. A software problem within the electrical system controller (ESC) can cause the circuit for the low beam or the circuit for the high beam headlights to fuse or open, resulting in loss of either the low or high beam headlights or possibly even both.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A headlight fusing condition could occur without warning to the driver and potentially leave the driver in a blackout situation while operating the vehicle in the dark.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will reprogram the ESC. Owner notification is expected to begin october 12, 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.

   Unknown or Other

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. There is an electrical problem with a remote power module. These vehicles were built with the ability to add six remote switches per module, which are mounted outside the cab and are used to turn on and off circuits that perform custom electrical functions. If two or more remote switches are actuated on within 100ms of one another, all six of the outputs on the remote power module will turn on. If two or more remote switches are actuated off with 100ms of one another, all six of the outputs on the remote power module with turn off.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Unintentional activation of remote body accessories could cause a crash resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
