5 recalls found in NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026

For the 2002 International 8000. 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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.

2002 International 8000 recalls, newest first

June 5, 2008NHTSA 08V25800051,588 vehicles potentially affected

Electrical system

Summary: Navistar is recalling 51,588 heavy trucks, commercial buses and school buses manufactured between November 21, 2000 and may 21, 2008, equipped with one or more remote power modules. The potting material that encapsulates the circuit board of the vehicle's remote power module may not sufficiently seal the circuit board from water and contamination intrusion. If the encapsulation is compromised, water and contaminants may cause an internal electrical short, possibly resulting in a fire.
Consequence: A fire could cause personal injury or death.
Remedy: Navistar will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on July 10, 2008. Owners may contact navistar at 1-280-461-1890.

Suspension › Front › Hub

Summary: On certain heavy and medium duty trucks and buses equipped with truck hub units manufactured by skf exclusively for use on arvinmeritor's FF98X series non-drive steer axles, the hub unit bearings can wear prematurely.
Consequence: Seizure of the bearings can cause wheel separation or wheel end fire.
Remedy: Dealers will replace all front axle hubs. Owner notification began on November 12, 2003. 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.

Service brakes, air

Summary: On certain heavy duty trucks, 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 majority 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 on April 18, 2003. 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.

Summary: On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with bendix TC-7 trailer control hand-operated valve with push-to-connect fittings. The delivery port in the valve body may be partially blocked due to a problem during the moding process.
Consequence: Such blockage may slow the delivery and exhaust of air to and from the trailer brakes when they are operated by this hand-operated trailer control valve.
Remedy: International will replace the hand-operated control valves. Owner notification began December 31, 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.
