What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN 4X2 MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS, A LONGER FRONT HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSE WAS SUBSTITUTED FOR THE SHORTER, CORRECT LENGTH HOSE.

The risk

THIS EXTRA LENGTH MAY CAUSE THE WHEEL TO RUB THROUGH THE BRAKE HOSE. A HOLE IN A BRAKE HOSE CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY THAT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT BRAKE HOSES AND IF A BRAKE HOSE IS THE INCORRECT LENGTH, A NEW PROPER LENGTH HOSE WILL BE INSTALLED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 24, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
