Recall 96V-041: 1993–1996 International Harvester 3800, 1993–1996 International Harvester 4000
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE recall for wheels, reported to NHTSA on Mar 1, 1996, covering about 206 vehicles.
The problem
The front wheel hub can develop cracks at the wheel mounting studs. When mounted to the hub, the hydraulic brake disc rotor does not properly support the hub at the wheel studs causing excessive stress and fatigue cracks in the hub.
The risk
Should sufficient cracks occur, the mounting flange portion of the hub along with the wheel could separate from the vehicle without warning. Should this occur while the vehicle is driven, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and/or the separated wheel and hub could strike another vehicle, pedestrian or property.
The fix
Dealers will install new, redesigned hubs on these vehicles.

Vehicle description: school and transit buses and medium duty trucks built with 9,000, 10,000, 11,000 or 12,000 pound front axle, hydraulic disc brakes, and hub mounted disc wheels.
