These are Transport Canada campaigns for 2006 International 4200 vehicles sold in Canada. A Canadian campaign may have no US counterpart, or one under a different number covering different vehicles. For a vehicle sold in the United States, go by the NHTSA listing above and NHTSA's VIN lookup.
On certain vehicles equipped with an INTERNATIONAL® VT365 engine, the engine calibration normally responds to a failed open accelerator position sensor circuit fault by returning the engine to low idle speed of 800 rpm and disabling the driver's ability to increase the engine speed. However, If the open circuit condition corrects itself within 30 seconds of its initiation the engine calibration misinterprets this event by going into a "limp home mode" where the engine speed is increased from low idle speed to the high idle speed of 1200 rpm. This increase to high idle speed may occur without warning causing a sudden and unexpected shift in vehicle position possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install an updated engine calibration.

On certain vehicles, the anchor bolt that is the pivot point for the driveline parking brake shoes may fatigue and break. If the bolt breaks, the park brake may not engage. This could cause the vehicle to roll away without warning and could result in a vehicle crash with the possibility of property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the anchor bolt.

On certain vehicles, a longer front hydraulic brake hose, for a large (73mm) hydraulic caliper, was substituted for the shorter, correct length hose used on the small (66mm) caliper. This extra length may cause the wheel to rub through the brake hose. A hole in the brake hose can cause a loss of braking ability that could result in a vehicle crash without warning, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if found to be too long, replace the front brake hose.

If this push rod breaks while the vehicle is in operation, a significant loss of service braking may be experienced. This could result in a vehicle crash without warning, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake pedal push rod.

2006 International 4200 recall questions
NHTSA lists 3 recalls for the 2006 International 4200 model year. That counts campaigns naming this model year, not recalls on your vehicle: many cover only a VIN range or production window. Transport Canada lists 4 Canadian campaigns for the Canadian-market model, shown separately.
Enter your VIN in NHTSA's recall lookup or International's own, or call a International dealer with your VIN. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. Transport Canada campaigns cover vehicles sold in Canada. For a vehicle sold in the United States, go by the NHTSA listing and NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorized International dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once International's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorized International dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with International so notices reach you, and check NHTSA's lookup from time to time.
