Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a International Harvester 9670, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Pedals and linkages (service brakes)

    NHTSA 89V021000 Reported 5,532 vehicles potentially affected NAVISTAR INTL CORP.

    The cotter pin that holds in place the hinge pin, which connects the brake treadle (pedal) to the floor mounting plate, may have been omitted.

    Remedy: Replace any missing cotter pin at the brake treadle hinge pin.

    Model years: 1989

  2. Structure

    NHTSA 87V076000 Reported 68,180 vehicles potentially affected NAVISTAR INTL CORP.

    Left and right cab steps, located directly under the driver and passenger cab doors, could fail from corrosion.

    Remedy: Replace steel tubular steps with new aluminum steps.

    Model years: 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987

  3. Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (service brakes)

    NHTSA 86V085000 Reported 3,226 vehicles potentially affected NAVISTAR INTL CORP.

    Truck tractor to trailer hoses installed on these trucks may not meet adhesion requirements of FMVSS 106, hydraulic brake hoses. The hose outer cover and braid did not with stand tensile force required by the standard. Consequence of defect: the hose may fail causing partial loss of braking capability which could lead to a crash if all…

    Remedy: Replace hose assembly if of the suspect date code.

    Model years: 1986

  4. Anchorage (seat belts)

    NHTSA 86V052000 Reported 5,940 vehicles potentially affected NAVISTAR INTL CORP.

    The seat belts loosen as truck is driven. The non locking retractor takes up any belt slack, giving false impression that the belt is still tight. Consequence of defect: the defect can increase the possibility of injury to the belt wearer in event of a vehicle crash.

    Remedy: Replace inboard driver and passenger seat belt halves with longer belts that assure proper locking angle between belt webbing and buckle.

    Model years: 1985, 1986

  5. Leaf (suspension)

    NHTSA 83V120000 Reported 520 vehicles potentially affected INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER

    A spring leaf may fracture through the center hole section. This occurs due to loosening of the spring-to-axle mounting attachment following extreme flexing of the spring leaves. This kind of fracture makes the remaining two leaves vulnerable to progressive fracture.

    Remedy: Vehicles will have the three-leaf spring assembly replaced with an improved unit.

    Model years: 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984
