INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER issued a recall on multiple vehicle models

THE FASTENERS WHICH JOIN THE REAR AXLE BRAKE DRUMS TO THE WHEELS WERE NOT TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE DUE TO A SPECIFICATION ERROR. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOOSENING CONDITION AND SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO THE DRUM AND BRAKES OF THE AFFECTED WHEEL. IN THE CASE OF AVEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AIR BRAKES, STOPPING DISTANCES WOULD BE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. A VEHICLE EQUIPED WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES COULD SUFFER A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY. THIS CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
