The short answer

NHTSA received INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE’s report on Nov 12, 1993. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

SHOULD A CRACK AND LEAKAGE DEVELOP IN ONE OF THE LINES,HALF OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM CAPABILITY COULD BE LOST, IMPAIRING THE STOPPINGABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. IF BOTH BRAKE LINES FAIL, THE ENTIRE SERVICE BRAKINGSYSTEM WILL BECOME INOPERATIVE. IN EITHER CASE, AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT,CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PERSONAL INJURY.

THE HYDRAULIC STEEL BRAKE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE FRAME FITTINGS ARE EXPERIENCING VERTICAL FLEXING WHICH CAUSES FATIGUE CRACKS AT THE FRAME END OF THE ASSEMBLY, RESULTING IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE.

THIS CAN OCCUR IN ONE OR BOTH OF THE STEEL BRAKE LINES.

IN EITHER CASE, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE LOW PRESSURE BUZZER WILL ACTIVATE.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
