Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with bostrom driver seat models (910, 910sc, or 914) and International's parking brake code 04036. If someone outside the cab adjusts/slides the driver's seat to its most forward position, with the parking brake set, the seat will contact and release the parking brake lever.
How to Fix:
Dealers will install a stop-bracket on the seat track to limit the travel of the seat so that the seat can not release the parking brake lever. Owner notification began April 20, 2001.
