DEFECT #1 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Posted on: 2002-09-25
Description

Consequence
If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
International will retrofit vehicles with a new pedal rod and bracket. Owner notification began december 16, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

DEFECT #2 - STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
Posted on: 2000-05-30
Description
Vehicle description: school/transit buses and medium duty trucks. The castings used on the power steering pumps were not built to match the engineering drawings, resulting in a thin wall in the pump casting or a complete connection of two passages that are supposed to be separated to control fluid flow. The fluid flow may be reduced to less than the minimum required flow rate to provide full power assist to the brake system with low engine speed.
Consequence
An increase in stopping distance at slow engine speeds can result, increasing the possibility of a crash.
Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect and replace all pumps that have the defective casting numbers.
