- Summary
- Vehicle description: medium and heavy duty trucks, school and transit buses built with a bendix 9X3 power apply park brake system. The cam lever of the powered apply brake can move forward, because a hole in the transmission mounting boss was drilled too deep.
- Consequence
- This can allow the cam lever to become disengaged from the parking brake shoes. The operator would have no warning that the parking brake was not applied allowing the vehicle to move unexpectedly.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install shims in the drilled area of the automatic transmission park brake pivot pin hole.
- Notes
- Owner notification:owner notification is expected to begin July 8, 1997. Note: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 navistar at 1-800-448-7825.ALSO contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Has your Navistar 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 Navistar dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
