1993 International Harvester 3800 recalls, newest first

November 12, 1996NHTSA 96V192000171,638 vehicles potentially affected

Exterior lighting › Turn signal › Switch

Summary: These buses have a turn signal lever that will not operate consistently in the lane change mode if the lever is not moved to the position where resistance to movement is felt.
Consequence: Should the rear signal lamps not flash when a lane change was being made, it could result in a vehicle following the bus to collide with the bus increasing the risk of personal injury and/or property damage.
Remedy: Operators will be mailed information concerning the proper method of using turn signals. A decal will also be provided to be placed on the instrument panel of each bus.

September 13, 1996NHTSA 96V174000580 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, hydraulic › Antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip

Summary: The wiring from the electronic control unit was connected to the wrong wheel sensor or to the wrong brake modulator valve. It is possible that either or both wiring may have occurred at either the front or rear axle or both axles.
Consequence: Should the anti-lock braking system (ABS) wiring be crossed, it would result in a significant degradation in vehicle stopping distance. A signal would be sent to the wrong brake chamber when a brake imbalance is detected. This condition increases the risk of a vehicle accident.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the ABS wiring and, if necessary, properly connect.

March 1, 1996NHTSA 96V041000206 vehicles potentially affected

Wheels › Hubcap/cover

Summary: The front wheel hub can develop cracks at the wheel mounting studs. When mounted to the hub, the hydraulic brake disc rotor does not properly support the hub at the wheel studs causing excessive stress and fatigue cracks in the hub.
Consequence: Should sufficient cracks occur, the mounting flange portion of the hub along with the wheel could separate from the vehicle without warning. Should this occur while the vehicle is driven, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and/or the separated wheel and hub could strike another vehicle, pedestrian or property.
Remedy: Dealers will install new, redesigned hubs on these vehicles.

Remedy: Install a pressure relief valve in the air tank.
