Defect SummaryOn certain school buses and truck model vehicles manufactured between february 28, 1999, through april 5, 2004, the anti-lock brake system electronic control unit (ecu) may misinterpret a corrupt wheel speed signal.
Consequence SummaryThe corrupt wheel speed signals may improperly activate the abs, instead of deactivating the abs. this may result in the driver experiencing a hard pedal feel and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop, resulting in extended stopping distances which could cause a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Defect SummaryOn certain transit and school buses, a brass fitting connects the double check valve to the brake relay valve. with certain inputs to the vehicle, the weight of the check valve on the fitting can cause the assembly to resonate. the subject vibration can cause excessive strain levels in the fitting, which could eventually fatigue and fail.
Consequence SummaryIf the fitting breaks, the rear service brakes will cease to operate without warning, resulting in an extended stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryDealers will install a kit to remount the double check valve with a flexible hose on the amjority of vehicles. on a small number of units with clearance issues or traction control, a kit with a new relay valve that has a built-in double check valve will be installed. owner notification began august 30, 2002. 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 SummaryOn certain school, transit, and commercial buses equipped with adjustable steering columns, the steering shaft pinch bolt interferes with the rubber boot that protects it. over time, a hole may wear into the boot and catch the bolt.

Defect SummaryVehicle description: school and heavy duty trucks equipped with trw drag links. each drag link assembly contains two 20-edl model ball socket assemblies. certain of the ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket.
