1999 Navistar 5000 recalls, newest first

January 24, 2000NHTSA 00V022000829 vehicles potentially affected

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

Summary: Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. The antilock traction relay valves were incorrectly assembled by the supplier. An extra check valve was installed which will not allow the traction control system to function properly.
Consequence: The rear brakes can be applied automatically during a traction event and not release until the air system pressure is depleted.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect these vehicles and all antilock traction relay valves found defective will be replaced.

May 4, 1999NHTSA 99V1020004,553 vehicles potentially affected

Visibility › Windshield wiper/washer › Linkages

Summary: Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with dana/sprague windshield wiper assemblies. The knurled pivot shaft (which operates the windshield wiper arm) is welded to a lever, which connects to linkage from the wiper motor. The weld at the pivot shaft to lever can fail.
Consequence: Should a failure occur during inclement weather on the driver's side while the vehicle is in motion, the operator's vision would be partially obscured.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the wiper system, conducting a "stall" test to validate the integrity of the weld. All wiper assemblies failing this test will be replaced.

Service brakes, air

Summary: Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks, transit and school buses, equipped with meritor air brake automatic slack adjusters. Some of the automatic slack adjusters had insufficient torque applied to the guide pawl cap screw.
Consequence: Without sufficient torque on the guide pawl cap screw, the brakes could gradually lose adjustment, increasing the vehicle stopping distance.
Remedy: Dealers will check the torque on the automatic slack adjuster guide pawl. If there is no torque, the brakes will be adjusted and the guide pawl will be tightened to 15-20 ft. Lbs.

Suspension › Front › Wheel bearing

Summary: Vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty truck chassis equipped with 16,000 lb., 18,000 lb., or 20,000 lb. Heavy duty steering axles. The inner wheel bearing cone for the steering axle wheel hub assembly does not properly fit onto the navistar steering axle spindle assembly. Improper fit of the bearing to the spindle increases the stress levels to the steering axle spindle which could cause spindle failure.
Consequence: If the spindle fails, a loss of driver control could occur, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the left and right hub/drum assemblies from the steering axles and replace the inner wheel bearing cones and cups.
