1995 International Harvester 8200 problems

What is wrong

These vehicles were built with an improperly plumbed brake system which affects the braking on the rear axle when running either bobtail or pulling a trailer.

Risk

This condition can affect the stopping ability of the vehicle because the front steer axle brakes and trailer's brakes would be doing most of the braking. Increased stopping distances would be required causing accelerated wear on the steer axle and the trailer brakes.

Remedy

Navistar dealers will inspect vehicles and repair by installing brake lines and fittings as required.

Recall number 95V144000 · Recall details

What is wrong

The base of the electronic accelerator pedal is made of die cast aluminum. The base mounts directly to the cab firewall. The cab firewall is not rigid enough or flat enough at the mounting surface, causing stress on the accelerator base that will cause the mounting pads on the base of the pedal assembly to fail and totally separate from the firewall.

Risk

This can cause loss of speed control, driver distraction, and result in an accident.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the accelerator pedal assembly and install a plate between the accelerator mounting base and the firewall on those units where the base is not broken and has no visible signs of a crack. If the base is broken or cracked, the accelerator assembly will be replaced with a new redesigned accelerator pedal assembly.
