International 4700-low-profile 1999

• Recall 2003049 [Canada]: Seats and restraints
  On certain vehicles built with bostrum driver seat models (910, 910c, or 914) and with international's parking brake code 04036. If someone outside the cab adjusts/slides the driver's seat to its most forward position, with the parking brake set, the seat will contact and release the parking brake lever. This could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly and possibly result in an accident. Correction: a stop-bracket will be installed on the seat track to limit the travel of the seat so that it can not release the parking brake lever when the seat is adjusted to its most forward position. This is an expansion of recall 01-088.

• Recall 2002113 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain trucks the fitting that connects the double check valve to the rear axle air brake relay valve may break. If the fitting breaks the rear service brakes will cease to operate, resulting in an extended stopping distance, possibly resulting in a collision.

• Recall 2002165 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, the trw model 410m ecu (electronic control unit) can misinterpret particular false wheel speed signals generated from any of the following conditions: an incorrect gap between the sensor and tone ring, a chaffed sensor wire, connector corrosion, sensor vibration or quality of harness and pin-outs. If one of these conditions occurs, the ecu could not distinguish between an actual low friction event on road surface and a low amplitude sensor signal and would activate the abs brakes, instead of deactivating the abs in response to a false signal. The driver would experience a hard brake pedal during the middle to end of a braking event and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop. The driver may experience an unexpected extended stopping distance, which could result in a collision. The abs warning indicator light may not come on to warn the driver of a system malfunction. Correction: dealer will affect repairs. Note: recall superseded by 2004171 and 2004172.

• Recall 1999053 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, the automatic slack adjusters may have had insufficient torque applied to the guide pawl cap screw. This condition may cause the brakes to gradually lose adjustment. This could result in loss of brake effectiveness and increased stopping distances which could in turn result in a vehicle crash. Correction:: the torque will be checked 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.

• Recall 1999206 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, the rear hydraulic brake hoses that drop from the frame down to the axle for abs brake systems may be either too long or too short. On vehicles where the hose is too long, a chafing condition exists on suspension components, which could result in hose rupture. On vehicles where the hoses are too short, a hose separation may occur with severe suspension articulation. Premature failure of a rear drop-hose would result in the loss of the rear brakes and could cause a crash without prior warning. Correction: short hoses will be replaced while long hoses will have a hose routing kit installed to prevent any chafing problems.

• Recall 1998195 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, the transmission flange, parking brake drum and transmission yoke are connected by eight bolts. If the brake drum or transmission yoke are not properly seated when the bolts are installed, subsequent driveline torque applied to the joint will cause the mating parts to fully seat, resulting in loose bolts. Loose bolts can eventually work out or shear resulting in the drum and driveshaft separating from the vehicle which could potentially cause vehicle damage or personal injury or both. Correction: vehicles will have the torque inspected and be retorqued to specification.

• Recall 1998222 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, the high pressure oil line for the fuel injection system that goes from the high pressure oil pump to the right cylinder head can abrade and fail due to rubbing on the charge air cooler crossover pipe. This would result in a sudden loss of oil and if the vehicle is being operated at the time, the engine could have a sudden loss of power without warning, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: vehicles will be inspected and a convoluted hose will be placed over undamaged hoses. Damaged hoses will be replaced and a convoluted hose will be added.
