DEFECT #2 - TRAILER HITCHES:FIFTH WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Posted on: 2005-04-29
Description
On certain vehicles equipped with air operated fifth wheel slides and an msva 7-pack accessory controller, the 7-pack can allow water to contaminate its circuit board. This could result in inadvertent operation of the fifth wheel slide control.
Consequence
If the slide control actuates while the vehicle is in motion, momentum from the trailer can cause the fifth wheel to slide without input from the driver, which could result in a crash without warning.
Corrective Action
Dealers will relocate the msva 7-pack to a less water intensive environment. A new msva 7-pack base, that has been improved to prevent water intrusion, and all air accessory solenoids will be installed free of charge. The recall began on august 5, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

DEFECT #3 - PARKING BRAKE
Posted on: 2007-07-24
Description
On certain 6x4 or 6x6 trucks with air brakes or tractors with air brakes and equipped with bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
Consequence
This could delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
International is working with bendix to repair these vehicles (please see 07e-037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected sr-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge.
