For the 2000 International Harvester 3000. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your International Harvester been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A International Harvester dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

2000 International Harvester 3000 recalls, newest first

June 3, 2004NHTSA 04V26900081,883 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Antilock › Wheel speed sensor

Summary
On certain school buses and truck model vehicles manufactured between February 28, 1999, through April 5, 2004, the anti-lock brake system electronic control unit (ECU) may misinterpret a corrupt wheel speed signal.
Consequence
The corrupt wheel speed signals may improperly activate the ABS, instead of deactivating the ABS. This may result in the driver experiencing a hard pedal feel and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop, resulting in extended stopping distances which could cause a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Remedy
International will notify its customers and inspect and repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The recall began August 1, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international customer service at 1-800-327-4236.

Steering

Summary
On certain school, transit, and commercial buses equipped with adjustable steering columns, the steering shaft pinch bolt interferes with the rubber boot that protects it. Over time, a hole may wear into the boot and catch the bolt.
Consequence
If the bolt catches on the hole, the boot may restrict the movement of the steering wheel which could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
International notify its customers and inspect and, if necessary, repair the steering column. Owner notification began November 19, 2003. Owners should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

May 20, 2002NHTSA 02V13500138,955 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Supply › Check valve

Summary
On certain transit and school buses, a brass fitting connects the double check valve to the brake relay valve. With certain inputs to the vehicle, the weight of the check valve on the fitting can cause the assembly to resonate. The subject vibration can cause excessive strain levels in the fitting, which could eventually fatigue and fail.
Consequence
If the fitting breaks, the rear service brakes will cease to operate without warning, resulting in an extended stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will install a kit to remount the double check valve with a flexible hose on the amjority of vehicles. On a small number of units with clearance issues or traction control, a kit with a new relay valve that has a built-in double check valve will be installed. Owner notification began August 30, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Tires

Summary
Certain heavy duty trucks, truck tractors, and buses equipped with 195/75R22.5 tires mounted on 7.5 inch wide wheels fail to comply with requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." these tires and rims do not match.
Consequence
Tires mounted on rims that are too narrow could experience a decrease in sidewall durability, and could also experience higher treadwear for tires mounted on the steering axle.
Remedy
Dealers will install new rims of an acceptable width (8.25 - 9 9INCHES) for the 295/75R22.5 tire size. Owner notification began August 23, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

October 16, 2000NHTSA 00V24620515,257 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Linkages › Drag › Link › Connection

Summary
Vehicle description: school and heavy duty trucks equipped with TRW drag links. Each drag link assembly contains two 20-edl model ball socket assemblies. Certain of the ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket.
Consequence
This can lead to premature wear with possible separation of the ball stud from the socket, increasing the risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
Remedy
Dealers will remove and replace affected drag links.

August 21, 2000NHTSA 00V23220117,231 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Antilock

Summary
Vehicle description: transit buses built with bendix air ABS with an EC-17 1030R electronic control unit (ECU). There have been reports of unwanted ABS activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed ABS wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.
Consequence
This condition could cause the ABS ECU to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the ABS ECU.

Consequence
This could cause the air ABS ECU to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels.
