On certain trucks, one or both rear axle housings may contain thinner material than what is necessary for normal vehicle operation. Over time, this thinner material may result in a fatigue failure of the rear axle housing, possibly in the location of the brake flange.

Dealers will inspect the vehicles rear axles and, if necessary, replace the axle housings. The recall began on may 18, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7815.

On certain 6x4 or 6x6 trucks with air brakes or tractors with air brakes and equipped with bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.

The recall began on september 28, 2007. Owners may contact bendix at 440-329-9000 and international at 440-329-9179.
