Recalls that may apply to the 1999 International 4900
A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.
By component
| None found. |
| 2004172 | 2004-05-20. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the TRW Model 410M Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can misinterpret particular false wheel speed signals generated from any of the following conditions: An incorrect gap between the sensor and tone ring, a chaffed sensor wire, connector corrosion, sensor vibration or quality of harness and pin-outs. If one of these conditions occurs, the ECU could not distinguish between an actual low friction event on road surface and a low amplitude sensor signal and would activate the ABS brakes, instead of deactivating the ABS in response to a false signal. The driver would experience a hard brake pedal during the middle to end of a braking event and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop. The driver may experience an unexpected extended stopping distance, which could result in a collision. The ABS warning indicator light may not come on to warn the driver of a system malfunction. Correction: Dealers will replace the ABS ECU. Note: This Recall supersedes Recall 2002165. |

| 2004048 | 2004-02-05. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the Bosch Zero Offset Pin Slide (ZOPS) hydraulic disc brakes may experience calipers sticking in the applied position, which can result in excessive or abnormal heat generation at one or more of the brakes. In bus applications, the combination of the following factors may collectively result in an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety: potential fire at a wheel end, high incident rates of stuck calipers, and evacuation and containment concerns relating to multiple passengers. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs. This is an expansion of Recall 2003053. |
| 2002165 | 2002-09-18. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the TRW Model 410M ECU (Electronic Control Unit) can misinterpret particular false wheel speed signals generated from any of the following conditions: An incorrect gap between the sensor and tone ring, a chaffed sensor wire, connector corrosion, sensor vibration or quality of harness and pin-outs. If one of these conditions occurs, the ECU could not distinguish between an actual low friction event on road surface and a low amplitude sensor signal and would activate the ABS brakes, instead of deactivating the ABS in response to a false signal. The driver would experience a hard brake pedal during the middle to end of a braking event and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop. The driver may experience an unexpected extended stopping distance, which could result in a collision. The ABS warning indicator light may not come on to warn the driver of a system malfunction. Correction: Dealer will affect repairs. Note: recall superseded by 2004171 and 2004172. |
| 2002113 | 2002-06-17. Brakes. On certain trucks the fitting that connects the double check valve to the rear axle air brake relay valve may break. If the fitting breaks the rear service brakes will cease to operate, resulting in an extended stopping distance, possibly resulting in a collision. |
| 2000020 | 2000-01-18. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the s-cam on the front drive axles may experience interference with the knuckle stud as the brake lining wears. This would prevent the s-cam from rotating through its full range of motion thereby restricting the amount of braking force transmitted from the brake shoe linings to the brake drums. Correction: Interfering knuckle studs will be shortened. |
| 1999206 | 1999-11-12. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the rear hydraulic brake hoses that drop from the frame down to the axle for ABS brake systems may be either too long or too short. On vehicles where the hose is too long, a chafing condition exists on suspension components, which could result in hose rupture. On vehicles where the hoses are too short, a hose separation may occur with severe suspension articulation. Premature failure of a rear drop-hose would result in the loss of the rear brakes and could cause a crash without prior warning. Correction: Short hoses will be replaced while long hoses will have a hose routing kit installed to prevent any chafing problems. |
| 1999053 | 1999-03-31. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the automatic slack adjusters may have had insufficient torque applied to the guide pawl cap screw. This condition may cause the brakes to gradually lose adjustment. This could result in loss of brake effectiveness and increased stopping distances which could in turn result in a vehicle crash. Correction:: The torque will be checked on the automatic slack adjuster guide pawl.. If there is no torque, the brakes will be adjusted and the guide pawl will be tightened to 15-20 ft. lbs. |
| 1999052 | 1999-03-31. Suspension. On certain vehicles, the radius on the cone of the inner wheel bearing was incorrectly machined resulting in improper seating of the cone against the seal flange of the steering knuckle. Improper seating of the bearing can increase the stress level on the steer axle knuckle spindle as well as bearing movement and excessive bearing end play. This can result in premature bearing wear, eventual fatigue failure of the axle spindle and loss of steering control. Correction: Inner wheel bearings will be inspected for proper seating and bearings that do not seat properly will be changed. The axle spindle and bearing cup will also be inspected for any damage and will be changed as required. |
| 1998195 | 1998-09-29. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the transmission flange, parking brake drum and transmission yoke are connected by eight bolts. If the brake drum or transmission yoke are not properly seated when the bolts are installed, subsequent driveline torque applied to the joint will cause the mating parts to fully seat, resulting in loose bolts. Loose bolts can eventually work out or shear resulting in the drum and driveshaft separating from the vehicle which could potentially cause vehicle damage or personal injury or both. Correction: Vehicles will have the torque inspected and be retorqued to specification. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
