  1. Antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip (service brakes)

    NHTSA 96V174000 Reported 580 vehicles potentially affected INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE

    The wiring from the electronic control unit was connected to the wrong wheel sensor or to the wrong brake modulator valve. It is possible that either or both wiring may have occurred at either the front or rear axle or both axles.

    Remedy: Dealers will inspect the ABS wiring and, if necessary, properly connect.

    Model years: 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996

  2. Vehicle speed control

    NHTSA 93V201000 Reported 1,050 vehicles potentially affected INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE

    The hand throttle cable may be mis-aligned with the accelerator rod causing the hand throttle cable to "saw" into the accelerator rod. This can cause the accelerator and hand throttle cable to bind in a partial or full throttle position.

    Remedy: Navistar dealers will replace the present accelerator rod with a new accelerator rod with a hardened end. Owners are advised to disconnect the hand throttle until a new accelerator rod is available.

    Model years: 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994
