International Harvester 8200 recalls by model year
All recalls
Suspension: rear
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: school buses and heavy duty trucks equipped with rear axle assemblies produced by dana spicer. Certain rear axle assemblies were improperly heat treated which could allow pinion breakage at the pinion threads.

- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the rear axle carrier/pinion assembly.
Recall number 96V240000 · Recall details
Suspension: rear
- What is wrong
- The drive axle housings consist of a plate steel center section and two forged spindles, one of which is welded to each end of the center section. Each spindle contains a keyway slot in which the locking tab for the wheel bearing nut locking mechanism is inserted. The length of the keyway slot may not be long enough to accommodate the tab causing the tab to be deformed or damaged during installation.
- Risk
- This locking tab prevents the wheel bearing nut from loosening during vehicle operation. If this tab is deformed, the nut can loosen allowing the wheel to separate from the axle increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the drive axle housing nuts with a conventional wheel nut hardware system.
Recall number 96V233002 · Recall details
Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- 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
Vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal
- 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.
