Summary
These vehicles were built with an improperly plumbed brake system which affects the braking on the rear axle when running either bobtail or pulling a trailer.
Consequence
This condition can affect the stopping ability of the vehicle because the front steer axle brakes and trailer's brakes would be doing most of the braking. Increased stopping distances would be required causing accelerated wear on the steer axle and the trailer brakes.
Remedy
Navistar dealers will inspect vehicles and repair by installing brake lines and fittings as required.
Notes

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.
