Service Brakes, Air / Slack Adjusters
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
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.

Suspension / Rear
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: school buses and heavy duty trucks equipped with rear axle assemblies produced by dana spicer. Certain rear axle assemblies were improperly heat treated which could allow pinion breakage at the pinion threads.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Cracks can initiate and result in separation of the threaded end of the pinion resulting in separation of the yoke and drive line from the rear axle increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record

Suspension / Rear
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The drive axle housings consist of a plate steel center section and two forged spindles, one of which is welded to each end of the center section. Each spindle contains a keyway slot in which the locking tab for the wheel bearing nut locking mechanism is inserted. The length of the keyway slot may not be long enough to accommodate the tab causing the tab to be deformed or damaged during installation.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This locking tab prevents the wheel bearing nut from loosening during vehicle operation. If this tab is deformed, the nut can loosen allowing the wheel to separate from the axle increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the drive axle housing nuts with a conventional wheel nut hardware system.
