2006 International 4200 & 2006 International 4300 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain 4X2 medium duty trucks, a longer front hydraulic brake hose was substituted for the shorter, correct length hose.
💥 The risk
This extra length may cause the wheel to rub through the brake hose. A hole in a brake hose CAN cause a loss of braking ability that could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the front brake hoses and if a brake hose is the incorrect length, a new proper length hose will be installed. The recall began on june 24, 2005. Owners may 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.)
