Recall 86V-046: 1985–1986 International Harvester Cargostar Series, 1985–1986 International Harvester Paystar and 1 more
NAVISTAR INTL CORP. recall for fuel system, gasoline, reported to NHTSA on Mar 21, 1986, covering about 10,002 vehicles.
The problem
The fuel injection pump throttle shaft bushing may be contaminated with a heat sensitive liquid polymer which can solidify on the bushing at normal engine operating temperature and cause the throttle to stick. Consequence of defect: throttle lever may stick and not return to low idle position after accelerator pedal is released. This could result in loss of vehicle control and lead to a vehicle crash without prior warning.
The fix
Replace fuel injection pump governor housing with a new housing containing new bushings free of contamination.
Notes
System: fuel injector pump. Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks.
