Recall 04V-269: 2002–2004 International 1552, 1999–2004 International 1652 and 17 more
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Jun 3, 2004, covering about 81,883 vehicles.
The problem
On certain school buses and truck model vehicles manufactured between february 28, 1999, through april 5, 2004, the anti-lock brake system electronic control unit (Ecu) may misinterpret a corrupt wheel speed signal.
The risk
The corrupt wheel speed signals may improperly activate the ABS, instead of deactivating the ABS. This may result in the driver experiencing a hard pedal feel and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop, resulting in extended stopping distances which could cause a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
The fix
International will notify its customers and inspect and repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The recall began august 1, 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 customer service at 1-800-327-4236.
Notes
Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
