Dates of Manufacture: Â Â Â February 1999 - April 2004
Defect: Â Â Â On certain school buses and heavy duty trucks, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) electronic control unit (ECU) may misinterpret a wheel speed signal. The signal may improperly activate the ABS, instead of deactivating the ABS. This may result in the driver experiencing a hard pedal feel and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop, resulting in extended stopping distances that could cause a crash.
Remedy: Â Â Â Dealers will inspect and repair the affected vehicles. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification to school bus owners began on June 11, 2004, and to truck owners on August 13, 2004. Owners may contact International at 1-800-448-7825.
