Recall 95V-127: 1990 International 3700, 1990 International 3800 and 2 more
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Jun 27, 1995, covering about 21,742 vehicles.
The problem
The wire end of the hand throttle cable passes through a split plastic grommet in the accelerator rod. This wire can work through the slot in the grommet and become lodged between the grommet and the edge of the hole in the accelerator rod.
The risk
If the throttle wire becomes lodged, the accelerator can stick and not return to idle position potentially affecting the operator's ability to control the vehicle and increasing the potential for an accident.
The fix
Dealers will repair buses by installing a new cable grommet without a slot; install a new cable stop; and readjust the throttle cable.
