Posted on: 2005-06-24

Consequence
This chafing could cause an electrical short and/or fire.
Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the vehicles to determine if any chafing has occurred between positive and negative cables. If there is no evidence of chafing, then a saddle clamp will be installed to ensure cables will not rub. If there is evidence of chafing, the damaged cables will be replaced and the swivel saddle clamp installed. The recall began on august 22, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

DEFECT #2 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Posted on: 2002-11-19
Description
On certain heavy duty trucks, the bolts and locking nuts used to hold the brake spiders or brake anchor plates tight to the axles were under-torqued on the right side of the vehicles. If the clamp load on the bolts is not sufficient, the anchor plate may move when the brake is applied in either the forward or reverse direction.
Consequence
This movement could cause individual brake components to fail or eventually fatigue all the anchor plate mounting bolts. If all the bolts break due to failure, a complete loss of braking at a wheel end could occur.
Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect and tighten all suspect bolts. New wheel seals and new bolts will be installed where applicable. Owner notification is expected to begin during december 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Description
On certain heavy duty trucks built with a detroit engine and a leece neville alternator. The electrical terminal at the alternator end of the cable that runs from the starter to the battery stud on the alternator may break off, due to vibration in the cable.
Consequence

Corrective Action
Dealers will reroute and rewire the wiring harness to the alternator. Owner notification began on march 13, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
