Defect SummaryVehicle 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.
Consequence SummaryIf 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.
Corrective SummaryDealers 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.

Defect SummaryThe drive axle housings consist of a plate steel center section and two forged spindles, one of which is welded to each end of the center section. each spindle contains a keyway slot in which the locking tab for the wheel bearing nut locking mechanism is inserted. the length of the keyway slot may not be long enough to accommodate the tab causing the tab to be deformed or damaged during installation.
Consequence SummaryThis locking tab prevents the wheel bearing nut from loosening during vehicle operation. if this tab is deformed, the nut can loosen allowing the wheel to separate from the axle increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
Corrective SummaryDealers will replace the drive axle housing nuts with a conventional wheel nut hardware system.
