All recalls

SuspensionReported August 1, 1996 · 21 vehicles affected
What is wrong
The equalizing beam shaft of the tandem axle suspension were manufactured from as-rolled sae4140 steel rather than the specified annealed sae4140. These shafts can fracture inside the beam at the toe of the weld.
Risk
Vehicles are subject to vehicle tilt and possible rollover in the event that both equalizing beams, on the same side of the vehicle, experience a simultaneous shaft failure. Affected suspensions can also drop and contact the road surface generating sparks which could ignite flammable material.
Remedy
Owner notification is being conducted by neway anchorlok. Dealers will inspect and replace all suspension suspension beams with suspension beams containing appropriate shafts.

Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittingsReported August 2, 1995 · 278 vehicles affected
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.
