    Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain conventional trucks equipped with pro-sleeper berths, water intrusion can be found in the bunk control panel area and pool in the tops of the dome light, tv/vcr, and or refrigerator power switches.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The circuit boards in the switches could heat up , possibly produce a flame or fire, and cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Report filed by INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION. Manufacturer campaign number 04503. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  2. 01V023000Received . 2,855 units.

    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.

    Report filed by INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE. Manufacturer campaign number 01502. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  3. 96V124004Received . 21 units.

    Suspension

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The equalizing beam shaft of the tandem axle suspension were manufactured from as-rolled sae4140 steel rather than the specified annealed sae4140. These shafts can fracture inside the beam at the toe of the weld.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicles are subject to vehicle tilt and possible rollover in the event that both equalizing beams, on the same side of the vehicle, experience a simultaneous shaft failure. Affected suspensions can also drop and contact the road surface generating sparks which could ignite flammable material.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Owner notification is being conducted by neway anchorlok. Dealers will inspect and replace all suspension suspension beams with suspension beams containing appropriate shafts.

    Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Straps holding the sleeper upper bunk in the raised position can release without warning.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the restraining strap releases suddenly, the bunkfalls without warning and can strike an occupant sitting in the lower bunk causing personal injury.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will modify the attachment of the upper bunk restraining strap to the upper bunk and rear wall of the sleeper and install a new redesigned bunk restraining strap.

  5. 95V174000Received . 651 units.

    Power Train / Driveline

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The driveline could have little torque or no torque on the driveline nut that retains the yoke at the center bearing or bearings if the vehicle is equipped with multiple center bearings.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The low torque condition can cause the driveline to separate resulting in personal injury or property damage from parts being thrown from the vehicle or scattered on the roadway.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will disconnect the driveline at the rear of the center bearing(s), torque the yoke nut and reconnect the driveline.
