2000 International Harvester IC recalls
Recall 02V-135: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: On certain transit and school buses, a brass fitting connects the double check valve to the brake relay valve.

The subject vibration can cause excessive strain levels in the fitting, which could eventually fatigue and fail.
Risk: If the fitting breaks, the rear service brakes will cease to operate without warning, resulting in an extended stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a kit to remount the double check valve with a flexible hose on the amjority of vehicles. On a small number of units with clearance issues or traction control, a kit with a new relay valve that has a built-in double check valve will be installed. Owner notification began august 30, 2002.
