Risk: This could delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: International is working with bendix to repair these vehicles (please see 07e-037).

Engine and engine coolingReported December 21, 2005 · 6,848 vehicles affected

What is wrong: On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with caterpillar diesel engines, the engine electrical ground cable that connects the engine block with the starter may be routed in a way that could cause chafing against the starter's positive battery cables.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the engine ground cables for proper routing.

Power train: axle assemblyReported October 4, 2005 · 4 vehicles affected

What is wrong: On certain heavy duty truck/tractors equipped with arvinmeritor series 145 and 160 rear drive axles. The suspect rear drive axle's spindles may have been incorrectly heat treated. Such a condition lessens the overall structural integrity of the spindles and could result in its fracture.
Risk: If a spindle fractures while the vehicle is in motion, it may cause wheel separation, which could, without warning result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the suspect vehicles and if the spindles are found to have certain date codes, the axle will be replaced. The recall began on october 7, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.

Trailer hitches: fifth wheel assemblyReported April 28, 2005 · 4,616 vehicles affected

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.
