    Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. The antilock traction relay valves were incorrectly assembled by the supplier. An extra check valve was installed which will not allow the traction control system to function properly.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The rear brakes can be applied automatically during a traction event and not release until the air system pressure is depleted.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect these vehicles and all antilock traction relay valves found defective will be replaced.

    Report filed by INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE. Manufacturer campaign number 00501. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  2. 99V102000Received . 4,553 units.

    Visibility / Windshield Wiper/Washer / Linkages

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with dana/sprague windshield wiper assemblies. The knurled pivot shaft (which operates the windshield wiper arm) is welded to a lever, which connects to linkage from the wiper motor. The weld at the pivot shaft to lever can fail.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Should a failure occur during inclement weather on the driver's side while the vehicle is in motion, the operator's vision would be partially obscured.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect the wiper system, conducting a "stall" test to validate the integrity of the weld. All wiper assemblies failing this test will be replaced.

  3. 99V055001Received . 1,547 units.

    Service Brakes, Air

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks, transit and school buses, equipped with meritor air brake automatic slack adjusters. Some of the automatic slack adjusters had insufficient torque applied to the guide pawl cap screw.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Without sufficient torque on the guide pawl cap screw, the brakes could gradually lose adjustment, increasing the vehicle stopping distance.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will check the torque on the automatic slack adjuster guide pawl. If there is no torque, the brakes will be adjusted and the guide pawl will be tightened to 15-20 ft. Lbs.

    Report filed by INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE. Manufacturer campaign number 99504. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  4. 99V014002Received . 4,024 units.

    Suspension / Front / Wheel Bearing

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty truck chassis equipped with 16,000 lb., 18,000 lb., or 20,000 lb. Heavy duty steering axles. The inner wheel bearing cone for the steering axle wheel hub assembly does not properly fit onto the navistar steering axle spindle assembly. Improper fit of the bearing to the spindle increases the stress levels to the steering axle spindle which could cause spindle failure.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the spindle fails, a loss of driver control could occur, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will remove the left and right hub/drum assemblies from the steering axles and replace the inner wheel bearing cones and cups.

    Report filed by INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE. Manufacturer campaign number 99503. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  5. 98V290000Received . 5,487 units.

    Power Train / Driveline

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with spicer spl170 55mm center bering package. The end yoke retaining nut can loosen.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If this condition occurs, the drive line can vibrate and separate from the vehicle, causing vehicular damage, or personal injury, or both.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will remove the 55mm center bearing package and coupler shaft, and replace it with a new coupler shaft and a 60mm center bearing package. An interim remedy can be implemented by placing a spot weld on the coupling shaft threads until parts are available.
