2000–2003 International 3200 & 2000–2002 International 1652 + 23 more recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain school and transit buses built with bosch zero offset pin slide (zops) hydraulic disc brakes, the zops hydraulic disc brakes may experience calipers sticking in the applied position, which CAN result in excessive or abnormal heat generation at one or more of the brakes.
💥 The risk
The combination of the following factors may collectively result in an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety: potential fire at a wheel end, high incident rates of stuck calipers, and evacuation and containment concerns relating to multiple passengers.
🔧 The fix
International will notify its customers and repair the buses free of charge. The recall began october 29, 2004.
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.)
