For the 2003 International 4300. 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 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 dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Service brakes, hydraulic

Summary: Certain school buses and heavy duty trucks built with hydraulic brakes and an air powered parking brake (brake code 04GAS) fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." the hydraulic brake monitor module was not installed on certain vehicles.
Consequence: Without the brake monitor module, the brake warning light will not come on during the initial key-on cycle and will not come on to warn the operator if there is a loss of hydraulic pressure in the brake system, a loss of power steering flow, or if the emergency brake booster motor is not functioning.
Remedy: Dealers will install the hydraulic brake monitor module. Owner notification is began during February 2003.

Parking brake › Conventional

Summary: On certain medium and heavy duty trucks built with driveline parking brake codes 04GAR, the parking brake assembly may not hold the vehicle in position when set. Factors contributing to this possibility are as follows: (1) cracked or broken cams; (2) loose or broken anchor bolts; (3) initial shoe diameter not set properly during assembly, which can lead to progressive component damage; (4) bent adjuster levers that cannot function; or (5) automatic adjuster cables that are disconnected.
Consequence: If the parking brake does not function properly, the vehicle could roll, without warning, after the parking brake lever has been set, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the cam, lever, and bolt. Owner notification began December 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.

Steering › Linkages › Drag › Link › Connection

Summary: On certain trucks, the cotter pin that goes through the drag link ball stud at the connection to the pitman arm is missing. This pin prevents the castle nut from loosening.
Consequence: If the nut loosens and comes completely off the drag link ball stud, the drag link could detach resulting in a loss of steering control.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the vehicle and install a cotter pin if it is missing. Owner notification began April 15, 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.
