Recall 03V-414: 2002–2003 International 3200, 2002–2003 International 4200
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Oct 22, 2003, covering about 924 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks equipped with v8 engines and air brakes or air operated park brakes, a stand-off bracket was not installed. The bracket supports the copper air compressor discharge tube. Normal vehicle and engine vibration can cause the unsupported copper tube to fail at or near the air compressor connection.
The risk
A failed compressor discharge tube could deplete the air system and may cause the parking brakes to apply. This condition could cause the vehicle to slow down or stop unexpectedly and result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and repair the stand-off bracket as necessary. Owner notification is expected to begin during december 2003. Owners should contact international truck at 1-800-448-7825.
