Recall 08V-097: 2008–2009 International 4000, 2008–2009 International 5000 and 4 more
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION recall for parking brake, reported to NHTSA on Feb 29, 2008, covering about 579 vehicles.
The problem
International is recalling my 2008-2009 4000, 5000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and prostar tractor/trucks equipped with bendix mv-3 dash control valves. The molded valve body has an incorrect core pin in the injection mold causing the valve body to be oversized in the double check valve area. This condition can allow the rubber double check valve to become lodged in the body opening under certain circumstances.
The risk
If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged double check valve thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing reduced ability for modulating the service emergency brakes increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the bendix mv-3 dash control valves free of charge. The recall began on may 9, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
