Posted on: 2007-04-25

Consequence
A crack in the brake flange location of the rear axle housing may result in a wheel end lockup or wheel separation possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Posted on: 2007-04-25
Description
On certain trucks equipped with davco fuel pro 382 heated fuel filters, when the key is in the 'on' position, the pre-heater, located in the fuel filter base, is energized.
Consequence

DEFECT #4 - PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR
Posted on: 2008-02-29
Description
International is recalling my 2008-2009 4000, 5000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and prostar tractor/trucks equipped with bendix mv-3 dash control valves. The molded valve body has an incorrect core pin in the injection mold causing the valve body to be oversized in the double check valve area. This condition can allow the rubber double check valve to become lodged in the body opening under certain circumstances.
Consequence
If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged double check valve thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing reduced ability for modulating the service emergency brakes increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the bendix mv-3 dash control valves free of charge. The recall began on may 9, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

DEFECT #5 - STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
Posted on: 2008-01-29
Description
On certain trucks, the retention system of the pin that attaches the hood travel limiting shock to the mounting bracket on top of the radiator may become disabled due to interference between it and the grab handle pocket of the hood. This could allow the pin to work out of the connection resulting in the hood separating from the shock.
Consequence
With the vehicle in a stationary position, this condition may cause a situation where the individual opening the hood would have to manually support the weight of the hood without warning which could result in personal injury.
Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the hood/hood travel limiting shock connection pin and pin retention system with a system that does not interfere with the hood grab handle pocket. The recall began on april 11, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

The potting material that encapsulates the circuit board of the vehicle's remote power module may not sufficiently seal the circuit board from water and contamination intrusion. If the encapsulation is compromised, water and contaminants may cause an internal electrical short, possibly resulting in a fire.
Consequence
