    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 1999-2002 International 4800 4x4 trucks manufactured June 30, 1999, through May 28, 2002, and equipped with Fabco TC-200 transfer cases.

    Power Train / Driveline / Driveshaft

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain 4x4 vehicles equipped with a fabco tc-200 transfer case, an excessive front drive shaft angle may cause accelerated wear and failure of the drive shaft and related components.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This failure can cause the front drive shaft to become separated from the vehicle without warning and fall into the path of other vehicles on the highway resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect and replace the existing front drive shaft with a double-cardan type shaft. The owners will be notified beginning on february 28, 2005, concerning the final remedy for these vehicles. Owners should contact international truck at 1-800-448-7825.

    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.
