For the 1976 International Harvester Fleetstar Series. 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.

1976 International Harvester Fleetstar Series recalls, newest first

September 18, 1979NHTSA 79V21100025,000 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Drum

Summary
As a result of severe shock and vibrations, the brake spiders on the involved vehicles may develop cracks near the camshaft mounting boss. The crack propagates across the spider until the camshaft boss is completely severed from the remainder of the spider. When the camshaft boss has completely severed, the s-cam, s-cam bracket, air chamber and slack adjuster can fall away from the brake spider resulting in a "no brake" condition on the wheel.
Remedy
The dealer will replace the front brake spiders on all affected vehicles used in snow plow dump and refuse hauling applications. This will be done at no charge.

October 17, 1977NHTSA 77V18000021,980 vehicles potentially affected

Wheels › Multi piece

Summary
The deficiency exists in the front axle forged aluminum hubs. The deficiency which is in the barrel section between the inner and outer bearing, may result in cracks which could lead to hub failure. When hub failure occurs, the separated hub is retained on the axle spindle by the wheel bearing and adjusting nut.
Remedy
The dealer will replace the forged aluminum hubs with steel hubs, at no charge.

January 13, 1977NHTSA 77V00500020 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, hydraulic › Power assist › Vacuum › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary
On the involved vehicles, the hose used to supply vacuum to the brake power unit or vacuum reserve tank may have been of the wrong material. This hose could deform sufficiently during normal operation to cause a reduction in vacuum assist to the brake power unit. This would result in greater brake pedal effort by operator and an increase in vehicle stopping distances.
Remedy
The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, remove incorrect hose and install the proper vacuum hose.
