Summary: The air line plumbing of the air brake foot valve was connected to the supply reservoir instead of the primary reservoir. This removes the primary brake system as a back-up in the event of a secondary brake system failure.
Consequence: In the event of a secondary system failure, there wouldbe no air to the foot valve and the vehicle would be without service brakescausing loss of braking control which could result in an accident.
Remedy: Reroute the foot valve airlines to the primary air tank.
Notes: System: brakes, air.vehicle description: heavy trucks with tandem rear axles and horizontal exhaust.

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.

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 Harvester dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
