Recall 01V-299: 2001 International Harvester 5000I
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Sep 24, 2001, covering about 68 vehicles.
The problem
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.
The risk
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.
The fix
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.
