2001–2003 International 4200 & 2002–2003 International 4300 + 3 more recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain heavy duty trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." the primary and secondary air supply hoses from the foot valve to the primary and secondary air tanks were improperly routed at the tank.
💥 The risk
If the primary air circuit is damaged, the brakes will not apply when the brake pedal is depressed increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and repair vehicles. Owner notification will be completed by october 3, 2003. Owners who take their vehicle 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.)
