Recall number 08V258000 · Recall details
Suspension: front: wheel bearing
- What is wrong
- International is recalling 330 my 2008-2009 4000 series trucks and 3000 re, fbc, and sfc buses. A manufacturing defect in the subassembly of the front axle wheel hubs resulted in the bearings being inadequately lubricated. This condition could cause the front axle bearings to overheat which can result in bearing spalling, seizing, or related damage.
- Risk
- Such damage may result in wheel lockup or front wheel separation on the highway with little or no warning to the driver, which could result in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the front axle bearings and, if necessary, replace and/or properly lubricate the bearings. The recall began on may 23, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.
Recall number 08V146000 · Recall details
Parking brake: conventional: air
- What is wrong
- International is recalling my 2008-2009 4000, 5000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and prostar tractor/trucks equipped with bendix mv-3 dash control valves. The molded valve body has an incorrect core pin in the injection mold causing the valve body to be oversized in the double check valve area. This condition can allow the rubber double check valve to become lodged in the body opening under certain circumstances.
- Risk
- If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged double check valve thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing reduced ability for modulating the service emergency brakes increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the bendix mv-3 dash control valves free of charge. The recall began on may 9, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.

Service brakes, air: controls: foot control/valve
- What is wrong
- On certain chassis, trucks, and tractors equipped with air brakes, the push rod that connects the brake pedal to the brake valve was manufactured incorrectly and could break under certain loading conditions.
- Risk
- If this push rod breaks while a vehicle is in operation, a partial loss of service braking may be experienced. This could result in a vehicle crash without warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the push rods free of charge. The recall began on june 3, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.
Recall number 05V241000 · Recall details
Exterior lighting: hazard flashing warning lights: switch
- What is wrong
- Certain 2005 my international 3300, 4000, and ce school and transit buses manufactured between may 24 and august 17, 2004. The left turn signal light and indicator light on the instrument panel may not illuminate during hazard operation due to an incorrectly manufactured switch contact that causes intermittent contact in the turn signal stalk assembly. This results in intermittent left turn signal and indicator light operation when the hazard switch is activated.
- Risk
- Intermittent light operation reduces the ability to warn other motorist of the driver's intentions. This could cause a vehicle crash without warning that may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
- Remedy
- International will notify its customers and replace the turn signal stalk assemblies free of charge. The recall began november 10, 2004. If parts do not become available within 60 days of this report, an interim notice will be sent to dealers and owners informing them that this recall exists.
