Steering:linkages:arm:idler and attachment
Problem: Vehicle description: heavy duty vehicles equipped with a 20,000 pound rated dana i-200 front steer axles. There are visible cracks in the seal diameter and large bearing diameter on the front axle knuckles, which can reduce the life expectancy of the knuckles.
Risk: If one of the suspect steering knuckles fails, the wheel at that wheel end would completely separate from the vehicle without warning and the driver would experience a sudden loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the two front steering knuckles. Owner notification began july 20, 2001. 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 1-800-448-7825.
Service brakes, air:slack adjusters
Problem: Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with air brake haldex automatic slack adjusters, long stroke brake chambers, and dana brakes. The automatic slack adjuster anchor brackets can fail due to fatigue fracture and completely separate, causing the slack adjusters to function as manual slack adjusters.
Risk: If the support bracket for an automatic slack adjuster fails, the brakes at that wheel end will not automatically adjust. As the brake linings wear, the vehicle will have reduced braking capacity, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a new bracket on each suspect slack adjuster. Owner notification began february 22, 2001. 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 1-800-448-7825.
