  1. Service brakes, air

    NHTSA 99V351000 Reported 944 vehicles potentially affected INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE

    Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. There is interference between the air brake s-cam and the end of one of the knuckle studs. As the brake shoe lining wears, the s-cam rotation may be limited by the interfering knuckle stud. If the s-cam can not rotate through its full range of motion, the braking force can not be fully transmitted…

    Remedy: Dealers will shorten the interfering knuckle stud to eliminate the clearance problem.

    Model years: 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999

  2. Service brakes, air

    NHTSA 99V055001 Reported 1,547 vehicles potentially affected INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE

    Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks, transit and school buses, equipped with meritor air brake automatic slack adjusters. Some of the automatic slack adjusters had insufficient torque applied to the guide pawl cap screw.

    Model years: 1999
