Parking Brake / Conventional
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain medium and heavy duty trucks built with driveline parking brake codes 04gar, the parking brake assembly may not hold the vehicle in position when set. Factors contributing to this possibility are as follows: (1) cracked or broken cams; (2) loose or broken anchor bolts; (3) initial shoe diameter not set properly during assembly, which can lead to progressive component damage; (4) bent adjuster levers that cannot function; or (5) automatic adjuster cables that are disconnected.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the parking brake does not function properly, the vehicle could roll, without warning, after the parking brake lever has been set, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the cam, lever, and bolt. Owner notification began december 30, 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.

Steering / Linkages / Drag / Link / Connection
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain trucks, the cotter pin that goes through the drag link ball stud at the connection to the pitman arm is missing. This pin prevents the castle nut from loosening.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record

- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
