Affects International 5900I 8X6, 5600I 8X6 · 2002–2006 — about 166 vehicles.
The hazard
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 121 - Brake Actuation Timing. The air brake component size and configuration are inadequate for these extended wheelbase vehicles, causing the mid-rear and rear-rear axle brakes to take longer than required to apply. The longer brake apply time may result in extended stopping distances. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
