Recalls that may apply to the 1999 International 5000
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. |
| 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. |
|---|---|
| 2001211 | 2001-08-20. Electrical. Certain heavy duty trucks. In below freezing operating conditions, the air-pressure actuated brake light switch that is mounted outside the cab on the front cowl, may not activate during light to normal braking and could result in a failure of the brake lights to activate. If the brake lights fail to come on, there will be no lights to indicate to following vehicles that the vehicle is decelerating, which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace all air brake stop light switches. |
| 2001177 | 2001-08-17. Steering. Certain heavy duty trucks equipped with axle assemblies which may have been manufactured with ArvinMeritor 12,000lb, 13,200lb axles, and Dana 9,000 front drive axles built with TRW 20-EDL ball sockets/drags links. The tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket in some applications. If this condition occurs, the driver can lose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the drag link assemblies. |
| 2000247 | 2000-10-26. Steering. On certain vehicles, the TRW tie rod and drag link ball stud ends contain bearings that are below the specified case depth and/or hardness. This can lead to premature wear out and a possible separation of the ball stud from the socket and loss of steering control. Correction: All affected tie rods and drag links with different design ends will be replaced. |
| 2000209 | 2000-09-28. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the ABS ECU misinterprets certain signals from wheel ends which can result in the temporary loss of braking capability on one or more wheel positions for several seconds. This response results from either an ABS cable that has chafed through the insulation and contacted a rotating part or a misaligned tone ring that has been damaged by contacting other components. Correction: ABS ECU will be replaced with a new ECU with upgraded software capable of detecting and properly responding to erroneous signals. |
| 2000186 | 2000-09-13. Electrical. On certain vehicles, moisture within the air brake system may collect inside the brake light and cruise control switches. If the moisture in the switches freezes, the brake lights may not function and the cruise control might not disengage when the brake pedal is depressed. Correction: The air manifold and switches will be re-mounted to a proven, trouble free, location. |
| 2000050 | 2000-02-29. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the Antilock Traction Relay Valves manufactured by Bendix were incorrectly assembled. An extra check valve was installed which will not allow the traction control system to function properly. When the system detects a traction control event, the defective valve can cause the rear brakes to apply and not release until the air system pressure is depleted. An unexpected and uncontrollable application of the rear brakes could cause a crash without prior warning. Correction: Suspect vehicles will be inspected and all Antilock Traction Relay Valves found to be defective will be replaced. |
| 1999093 | 1999-05-19. Visual System. The knurled pivot shaft (which operates the windshield wiper arm) is welded to a lever, which connects the linkage from the wiper motor. On certain vehicles, the weld at the pivot shaft to lever may fail. This failure can occur on either the right or left side causing the wiper arm to be inoperative for that side. This could result in obscured driver vision if the failure occurred during inclement weather. Correction: A stall test will be performed on the wiper system to validate the integrity of the suspect weld. All wiper assemblies which fail the stall test will be replaced. |
| 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. |
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.
