Service Brakes, Air / Antilock / Wheel Speed Sensor
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain school buses and truck model vehicles manufactured between february 28, 1999, through april 5, 2004, the anti-lock brake system electronic control unit (ECU) may misinterpret a corrupt wheel speed signal.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The corrupt wheel speed signals may improperly activate the ABS, instead of deactivating the ABS. This may result in the driver experiencing a hard pedal feel and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop, resulting in extended stopping distances which could cause a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
International will notify its customers and inspect and repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The recall began august 1, 2004. 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 customer service at 1-800-327-4236.

Service Brakes, Air
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain 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, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
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 on april 18, 2003. 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.

Seats
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with bostrom driver seat models (910, 910sc, or 914) and international's parking brake code 04036. If someone outside the cab adjusts/slides the driver's seat to its most forward position, with the parking brake set, the seat will contact and release the parking brake lever.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the parking brake is accidentally released, the vehicle could move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install a stop-bracket on the seat track to limit the travel of the seat so that the seat can not release the parking brake lever. Owner notification began april 20, 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.
