Recalls 5
Trailer hitches: fifth wheel assembly
- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.

Recall number 04V144000 · Recall details
Visibility: windshield wiper/washer
- What is wrong
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.

- What is wrong
- On certain heavy duty trucks, the fuel line is routed too close to a turbo charger outlet/exhaust pipe. If an interference condition occurs between the fuel harness and the exhaust pipe, the fuel line inside the reflective heat wrap could melt due to excessive heat.
- Risk
- The melting of the line could result in immediate engine shut down, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the vehicles for proper routing of the fuel harness. If the harness is routed near the exhaust system, a new fuel harness will be installed.
