International IS recalling 330 my 2008-2009 4000 series trucks and 3000 re, fbc, and sfc buses. a manufacturing defect in the subassembly of the front axle wheel hubs resulted in the bearings being inadequately lubricated. this condition could cause the front axle bearings to overheat which can result in bearing spalling, seizing, or related damage.
Risk and remedy

International IS recalling my 2008-2009 4000, 5000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and prostar tractor/trucks equipped with bendix MV-3 dash control valves. the molded valve body has an incorrect core pin in the injection mold causing the valve body to be oversized in the double check valve area. this condition can allow the rubber double check valve to become lodged…
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged double check valve thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing reduced ability for modulating the service emergency brakes increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the bendix MV-3 dash control valves free of charge. the recall began on may 9, 2008. owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

2008 medtec ambulance that has failure of the street side interior wall and cabinets. the entire wall and cabinetry were not installed properly during new construction and now have failed to where they are falling off the ceiling and have buckled away from the exterior shell of the ambulance. seat belt restraints were also found to be fastened into 3/4" plywood only. these will not meet the required dot and and pull testing and would have failed grossly in an accident. the corporation has failed to stand behind this product, stating that it does not fall under any warranty clause for the vehicle. the vehicle has been removed from service as it IS clearly a safety for emergency crews and patients alike. action or involvement IS being requested from the nhtsa for this particular vehicle and also others that are still in service that may very likely have the same deficiencies and be a safety hazard. *tr
