Description
Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 77V005000 by International Truck & Engine Corporation. Includes 20 affected units, BRAKES:HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:LINES:VACUUM, component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, and more from the Department of Transportation.
Defect Summary
On the involved vehicles, the hose used to supply vacuum to the brake power unit or vacuum reserve tank may have been of the wrong material. This hose could deform sufficiently during normal operation to cause a reduction in vacuum assist to the brake power unit. This would result in greater brake pedal effort by operator and an increase in vehicle stopping distances.
Corrective Action
The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, remove incorrect hose and install the proper vacuum hose.
