Vehicle recall 96V041000 · March 1, 1996

International Harvester 3800 and 4000

The front wheel hub can develop cracks at the wheel mounting studs.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary
The front wheel hub can develop cracks at the wheel mounting studs. When mounted to the hub, the hydraulic brake disc rotor does not properly support the hub at the wheel studs causing excessive stress and fatigue cracks in the hub.
Consequence
Should sufficient cracks occur, the mounting flange portion of the hub along with the wheel could separate from the vehicle without warning. Should this occur while the vehicle is driven, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and/or the separated wheel and hub could strike another vehicle, pedestrian or property.
Remedy
Dealers will install new, redesigned hubs on these vehicles.
Notes
System: wheels; hub. Vehicle description: school and transit buses and medium duty trucks built with 9,000, 10,000, 11,000 or 12,000 pound front axle, hydraulic disc brakes, and hub mounted disc wheels. Note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreedupon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

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.
