2008 International 7600 problems

What is wrong

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2010 emergency vehicles manufactured between june 12, 2007 and june 24, 2009, equipped with cummins isb cm2150, isc cm2150, isl cm2150, ism cm876, and isx cm871 model diesel engines. The vehicles may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. Due to an issue with the logic in the ECM software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in "inhibit" mode when it is not.

Risk

This condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire.

Remedy

Cummins is conducting this campaign and will provide the remedy free of charge. Please see cummins defect report 09e-046. Owners may contact cummins at 1‑800‑343‑7357.

Recall number 09V425000 · Recall details

What is wrong

On certain trucks equipped with split shaft style power take off (pto), the bolts that attach the drive shaft flanges to the split shaft pto may loosen and allow the drive shaft to separate from the vehicle.

Risk

Drive shaft separation may happen without warning and could possibly get into the path of other vehicles on the highway, causing property damage, personal injury or death.

Remedy

Dealers will replace and properly tighten the split shaft pto flange mounting bolts free of charge. The recall began on october 30, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.

Recall number 07V498000 · Recall details

What is wrong

On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks built with cummins ism c876 engines, the electronic control module fails to recognize inputs of the vehicle electronic control unit or from a driver actuated dash switch thereby increasing the risk of unintended (or unexpected) elevated exhaust temperatures.

Risk

While this condition does not involve a risk of fire in the vehicle itself, it could present a fire hazard in a situation where the vehicle's exhaust is in close proximity to materials or substances that can melt, burn, or explode.

Remedy

Cummins, in conjunction with international, will conduct the remedy campaign. Cummins will install new ECM software. Owners can contact cummins at 1‑800‑343‑7357 or international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.

Recall number 07V374000 · Recall details

What is wrong

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.

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). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected sr-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge. The recall began on september 28, 2007. Owners may contact bendix at 440‑329‑9000 and international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.

Recall number 07V314000 · Recall details

What is wrong

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.

Risk

If this pre-heater is energized while maintenance is being performed on the fuel filter, diesel fuel could ignite within the filter housing. A fire within the fuel filter housing may spread possibly resulting in property damage or personal injury.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the fuel filters and fuel heaters and, if necessary, will replace the fuel heater. The recall began on may 11, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.
