Affects International 3900FC, 3000FE · 1992–1995 — about 215 vehicles.
The hazard
THE TWO HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SWITCHES WHICH OPERATE THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP MAY BE TOO SENSITIVE AND CAN RESULT IN THE BRAKE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATING WHEN ACTUAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE HAS NOT OCCURRED. THIS COULD CAUSE THE OPERATOR TO IGNORE A WARNING WHEN AN ACTUAL PROBLEM EXISTS AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: THE TWO HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SWITCHES WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE MECHANICAL SWITCH THAT IS ACTIVATED BY BRAKE PEDAL STROKE.
