1999 International 4700 Recall

Issued November 12, 1999
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles, the rear hydraulic brake hoses that drop from the frame down to the axle for ABS brake systems may be either too long or too short. On vehicles where the hose is too long, a chafing condition exists on suspension components, which could result in hose rupture. On vehicles where the hoses are too short, a hose separation may occur with severe suspension articulation. Premature failure of a rear drop-hose would result in the loss of the rear brakes and could cause a crash without prior warning. Correction: Short hoses will be replaced while long hoses will have a hose routing kit installed to prevent any chafing problems.
