1995 International 4700 Recall

On certain vehicles built with Bostrum driver seat models (910, 910C, or 914) and with International's parking brake code 04036. If someone outside the cab adjusts/slides the driver's seat to its most forward position, with the parking brake set, the seat will contact and release the parking brake lever. This could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly and possibly result in an accident. Correction: A stop-bracket will be installed on the seat track to limit the travel of the seat so that it can not release the parking brake lever when the seat is adjusted to its most forward position. This is an expansion of recall 01-088.

A failure of this component (seats and restraints) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).

THE DOUBLE NEUTRAL SHIFT CONTROL LEVER MAY BIND AS THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO PUT THE LEVER IN THE PARK POSITION. IF THIS OCCURS THE LEVER DOES NOT ACTUALLY REACH THE FULL PARK POSITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FALSE PARK CONDITION. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING IF PARKED ON AN INCLINE. CORRECTION: THE DOUBLE SHIFT CONTROL WILL BE REPLACED WITH A REDESIGNED SHIFT CONTROL AND A FINAL ADJUSTMENT WILL BE MADE TO THE CABLE AFTER THE NEW SHIFT CONTROL IS INSTALLED.

A failure of this component (powertrain) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).

THE CAM LEVER ON THE POWERED APPLY BRAKE CAN MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE OF A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION MOUNTING BOSS WAS DRILLED TOO DEEP, ALLOWING THE CAM LEVER TO BECOME DISENGAGED FROM THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES. SHOULD THIS OCCUR, THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE NO WARNING THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT APPLIED. THIS COULD RESULT IN VEHICLE ROLL AWAY AND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: SHIMS WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE DRILLED AREA OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PARK BRAKE PIVOT PIN HOLE.

A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

THE DIE CAST ALUMINUM BASE OF THE WILLIAMS ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY ON THESE VEHICLES MAY FAIL AT THE MOUNTING PADS WHERE THE BASE IS BOLTED TO THE FIREWALL. IF BOTH MOUNTING PADS SHOULD FAIL, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY WOULD TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM THE FIREWALL. THIS COULD DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND IMPAIR VEHICLE CONTROL RESULTING IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY WILL BE INSPECTED AND A PLATE WILL BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE MOUNTING BASE AND FIREWALL ON UNITS WHERE THE BASE IS NOT BROKEN OR CRACKED. SHOULD THE BASE BE BROKEN OR CRACKED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW RE-DESIGNED ASSEMBLY.

A failure of this component (structure) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

THE TURBOCHARGER COMPRESSOR BACKPLATE RETAINING FASTENERS MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY TORQUED. SHOULD THESE FASTENERS COME LOOSE, OIL COULD LEAK INTO THE COMPRESSOR AIR SIDE OF THE TURBOCHARGER. THE GREAT QUANTITY OF OIL ENTERING THE TURBOCHARGER COMPRESSOR THROUGH A PATH CREATED BY BACKPLATE FASTENER LOOSENING COUPLED WITH HEAT PRECIPITATED BY THE COMPRESSOR AND THE MIXING ACTION OF THE COMPRESSOR WHEEL, MAY RESULT IN AN AIR/OIL MIXTURE THAT FUELS THE ENGINE. THIS COULD RESULT IN ENGINE RUN-ON, SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF OPERATOR THROTTLE CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: SUSPECT TURBOCHARGERS WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW TURBOCHARGER.

A failure of this component (engine) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
