💥 Crash riskNHTSA 01V023📅 Feb 7, 2001

2000–2001 International 9900I & 2000–2001 International Harvester 8100 + 7 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with air brake haldex automatic slack adjusters, long stroke brake chambers, and dana brakes. The automatic slack adjuster anchor brackets CAN fail due to fatigue fracture and completely separate, causing the slack adjusters to function as manual slack adjusters.

💥 The risk

If the support bracket for an automatic slack adjuster fails, the brakes at that wheel end will not automatically adjust. As the brake linings wear, the vehicle will have reduced braking capacity, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will install a new bracket on each suspect slack adjuster. Owner notification began february 22, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
