What is wrong
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 can happen
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 fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
NAVISTAR DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW, REDESIGNED PRIMARY AND SECONDARY BRAKE LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE FRAME RAIL FITTINGS.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
