Summary
At low ambient temperature, with the parking brake applied abd the engine running, pressure can build up sufficiently to partially pressurize the brake chamber which controls the ddm park brake at the rear of the transmission allowing the parking brake to partially release.
Consequence
If the vehicle is parked on a moderate incline, the vehicle can roll away without warning and possibly result in an accident.
Remedy
Dealers will re-plumb the hydraulic lines of the hydraulic park brake system preventing unintentional release of the park brake.
Notes
System: emergency parking brake; air; check valve.vehicle description: medium duty trucks built with hydraulic actuated ddm parking brakes.note: if the vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time or the remedy does not correct the defect, please contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.

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.
