4 recalls.
Date: 2001-09-24. Systems: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR.
Defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." A SECONDARY BRAKE LINE THAT CONNECTS THE FOOT VALVE WITH THE SPRING BRAKE VALVE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.
Consequence: IF THERE IS FAILURE IN THE PRIMARY SYSTEM AND THE SECONDARY BRAKE LINE HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED, ONLY THE FRONT BRAKES WOULD ACTUATE, WITH REAR SPRING BRAKE ACTUATION. THIS WOULD RESULT IN AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND CORRECT INCOMPLETE AIR LINE INSTALLATIONS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN OCTOBER 9, 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.
Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.
Date: 2001-09-10. Systems: STEERING.
Defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE STEERING SHAFTS MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE OR MIS-LOCATED WELD THAT COULD FAIL.
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: IN BELOW FREEZING OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE AIR-PRESSURE ACTUATED BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH THAT IS MOUNTED OUTSIDE THE CAB ON THE FRONT COWL, ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS, MAY NOT ACTIVATE DURING LIGHT TO NORMAL BRAKING.
Consequence: IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO COME ON, THERE WILL BE NO LIGHTS TO INDICATE TO FOLLOWING VEHICLES THAT THE VEHICLE IS DECELERATING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL AIR BRAKE STOP LIGHTS SWITCHES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN OCTOBER 30, 2001.

Defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY 6X4 TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CHALMERS 800 SERIES SUSPENSION KITS. THESE SUSPENSION KITS MAY HAVE INSUFFICIENT PENETRATION OF THE WELD ATTACHING THE TORQUE ROD EYE TO THE TORQUE ROD TUBE.
Consequence: FAILURE OF THE WELD COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE EYE AND TUBE, CAUSING A LOCK OF AXLE RETENTION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL CHALMERS FIXED TORQUE RODS ON THESE VEHICLES. ALL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. 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.
