Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 1997 International 4700 in Canada.
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.
