Recall 99V-351: 1994–1999 Navistar 4800, 1994–1999 Navistar 4900
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Dec 14, 1999, covering about 944 vehicles.
The problem
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. There is interference between the air brake s-cam and the end of one of the knuckle studs. As the brake shoe lining wears, the s-cam rotation may be limited by the interfering knuckle stud. If the s-cam can not rotate through its full range of motion, the braking force can not be fully transmitted from the brake shoe linings to the brake drums.
The risk
This could result in a longer stopping distance or a dragging brake condition.
The fix
Dealers will shorten the interfering knuckle stud to eliminate the clearance problem.
