International 4200 4X2, 4300 4X2: Brakes

Affects International 4200 4X2, 4300 4X2 · 2006 — about 2 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, a longer front hydraulic brake hose, for a large (73mm) hydraulic caliper, was substituted for the shorter, correct length hose used on the small (66mm) caliper. This extra length may cause the wheel to rub through the brake hose. A hole in the brake hose can cause a loss of braking ability that could result in a vehicle crash without warning, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if found to be too long, replace the front brake hose.
