INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Jan 6, 2004, covering about 2,546 vehicles.
The problem

In some light braking situations, the vehicle can come to a complete stop without activation of the brake lights.
The risk
If the brake lights do not activate properly under normal driving conditions, it could lead to a crash.
The fix
International will notify its customers and replace the incorrect brake pedal with the correct version free of charge. Owner notification began may 21, 2004. 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 international at 800-448-7825.
