International recall: Service brakes
What is wrong
Navistar Inc., is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 International Lonestar, Paystar, Prostar, Workstar and 9900 trucks, equipped with feature code 0504501, 0504504, or 04EWM Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) brake linings and with or without feature code 04WCS Greased For Life front air S-cam brakes. In the affected vehicles, the brake S-cam brackets may fracture.
What could happen
S-cam bracket fractures may result in an inoperative brake on the affected wheel. This will cause the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly during braking and/or increase the stopping distance. Either result may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the S-cam brake assemblies with a brake assembly with cast spiders and S-cam tube bracket assemblies with reinforced gussets, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's number for this recall 14501. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 13V231.
