- Summary
- On certain school buses and truck model vehicles manufactured between February 28, 1999, through April 5, 2004, the anti-lock brake system electronic control unit (ECU) may misinterpret a corrupt wheel speed signal.
- Consequence
- The corrupt wheel speed signals may improperly activate the ABS, instead of deactivating the ABS. This may result in the driver experiencing a hard pedal feel and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop, resulting in extended stopping distances which could cause a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
- Remedy
- International will notify its customers and inspect and repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The recall began August 1, 2004. 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 customer service at 1-800-327-4236.
- Notes
- Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

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.
