Defect. THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH AN IMPROPERLY PLUMBED BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH AFFECTS THE BRAKING ON THE REAR AXLE WHEN RUNNING EITHER BOBTAIL OR PULLING A TRAILER.
Risk. THIS CONDITION CAN AFFECT THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FRONT STEER AXLE BRAKES AND TRAILER'S BRAKES WOULD BE DOING MOST OF THE BRAKING. INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES WOULD BE REQUIRED CAUSING ACCELERATED WEAR ON THE STEER AXLE AND THE TRAILER BRAKES.
Remedy. NAVISTAR DEALERS WILL INSPECT VEHICLES AND REPAIR BY INSTALLING BRAKE LINES AND FITTINGS AS REQUIRED.

Vehicle Speed Control › Accelerator Pedal94V196000
Filed Oct 7, 19946,449 vehiclesInternational Truck And Engine
Defect. THE BASE OF THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS MADE OF DIE CAST ALUMINUM. THE BASE MOUNTS DIRECTLY TO THE CAB FIREWALL. THE CAB FIREWALL IS NOT RIGID ENOUGH OR FLAT ENOUGH AT THE MOUNTING SURFACE, CAUSING STRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR BASE THAT WILL CAUSE THE MOUNTING PADS ON THE BASE OF THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY TO FAIL AND TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM THE FIREWALL.
Risk. THIS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF SPEED CONTROL, DRIVER DISTRACTION, AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY AND INSTALL A PLATE BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR MOUNTING BASE AND THE FIREWALL ON THOSE UNITS WHERE THE BASE IS NOT BROKEN AND HAS NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF A CRACK. IF THE BASE IS BROKEN OR CRACKED, THE ACCELERATOR ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY.
Engine and Engine Cooling › Engine › Gasoline › Turbo/Supercharger94V144000
Filed Aug 2, 1994373 vehiclesInternational Truck And Engine
Defect. FOUR COMPRESSION BACKPLATE RETAINING FASTENERS ON THE TURBO-CHARGER WERE TORQUED ONLY HAND TIGHT. THIS ALLOWS THE FASTENERS TO LOOSEN, AND CAUSES OIL TO LEAK INTO THE COMPRESSOR AIR SIDE OF THE TURBO-CHARGER WHICH, WHEN COUPLED WITH THE HEAT PRECIPITATED BY THE COMPRESSOR AND THE MIXING ACTION OF THE COMPRESSOR WHEEL, CAN RESULT IN AN AIR/OIL MIXTURE THAT FUELS THE ENGINE.
Risk. WHEN THIS OCCURS, ENGINE RUN-ON AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF OPERATOR CONTROL VIA THE NORMAL THROTTLE MECHANISM CAN OCCUR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy. REPLACE THE SUSPECT TURBO-CHARGER WITH A NEW TURBO-CHARGER.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
