Electrical system:12v/24v/48v battery:cables
Problem: On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with international dt530, cummins, or caterpillar i-6 engines, the positive battery cable between the batteries and the starter may rub against an electrical ground cable between the starter and frame rail.
Risk: This could cause an electrical short and/or fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect for any chafing. If there is no evidence of chafing, a saddle clamp will be installed. If there is evidence of chafing, the damaged cables will be replaced and the saddle clamp installed. The recall began on august 16, 2004. Owners should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
Power train:driveline:universal joint
Problem: On certain trucks equipped with dt466 or dt530 1308 style engines and 4x4 or 6x6 capability, the universal joint between the front drive shaft and drive axle could come in contact with the engine oil filter under certain braking conditions.
Risk: This could cause a loss of complete engine oil which could result in the engine shutting down and increase the risk of property damage, personal injury, or a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a shorter oil filter and adapter. Owner notification is expected to begin april 29, 2004. 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.
Visibility:windshield wiper/washer
Problem: Certain heavy duty trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 104, "windshield wiping and washing systems." due to the design of the windshield washer pump motor circuit, the system's ability to function is impaired when it is full of frozen water and the pump motor shaft is locked or frozen (cannot rotate).
Risk: Any resultant reduced visibility could cause a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a new 10 amp fuse in place of the 5 amp fuse and a new 10 amp label will be placed over the original 5 amp designation on the fuse panel label. Owner notification began on june 27, 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.
