Recall number 09V386000 · Recall details

Service brakes, airReported December 21, 2005 · 2 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Certain trucks built with a 8x6 wheel configuration (tridems) fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, 'air brake systems.' the as-built air brake component size and configuration are inadequate for the extended wheelbases causing the mid-rear and rear-rear axle brake apply timing to be noncompliant with the standard.
Risk: The longer brake apply time may result in extended stopping distances, which could result in a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will change the air hosing (to 3/4" diameter) from the air tank; air hosing (to 3/4") from the ABS-modulator valves to service brake quick release valves; and the service brake quick release valves will be upgraded with larger ports to accommodate high air flow free of charge.

Seat belts: front: webbingReported October 4, 2005 · 125 vehicles affected

Risk: This chafing may eventually cut through the tether, thus weakening the effectiveness of the seat belt assembly in a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the vehicles for suspect seat codes and will replace the existing 12" seat tethers with new 13.5" tethers. The recall began on october 7, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.
