2005 International 4200 recalls
Recall 10V-267: Vehicle Speed Control
Problem: Navistar is recalling certain model year 2003 through 2010 international trucks and ic commercial buses manufactured from december 4, 2001 through december 14, 2009 equipped with international vt365 engines having engine calibration pan2pvr0, pan2pvr1, or pan2pwr. The engine normally responds to a failed open accelerator position sensor circuit fault by returning the engine to low idle speed of 800 RPM and disabling the driver's ability to increase the engine speed. However if the open circuit corrects itself within 30 seconds of initiation, engine speed could suddenly increase to a high idle speed of 1200 RPM.
Risk: This increase to high idle speed may occur without warning causing a sudden and unexpected shift in vehicle position possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Fix: Navistar will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on july 1, 2010. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
Recall 05V-368: Parking Brake
Problem: Certain my 2005 through 2006 international heavy trucks and ic corp ce school buses manufactured between june 4, 2004, and march 31, 2005. The anchor bolt that is the pivot point for the driveline parking brake shoes may fatigue and break as a result of an incorrect surface treatment.
Risk: If the bolt breaks, the park brake may not engage. This could cause the vehicle to roll away without warning and could result in a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Fix: International recall no. 00518. International will notify owner and replace the affected anchor bolts free of charge. The recall began on october 14, 2005. Customers may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
Recall 04V-508: Suspension
Problem: On certain trucks built with iros rear air suspension systems, four rear suspension fasteners may not be tightened sufficiently. This hardware connects the main support members of the rear suspension to the hanger brackets.
Risk: This connection could fail if the nuts worked their way loose or off, or the bolts broke from fatigue. A failure of these fasteners could result in separation of the main support from the hanger bracket possibly resulting in a sudden loss of control of the vehicle, which could result in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace all four bolts and tighten the bolts properly. The recall began on november 5, 2004. Owners should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
