2005 International 7400 recalls

Recall 07V-222: Suspension

Reported Jun 4, 2007 · 230 vehicles affected · INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION

Problem: On certain trucks, the rear-rear axle brake slack adjusters may contact the rear axle housing preventing the brakes from being fully applied possibly causing extended stopping distances.

Risk: Extended stopping distances can contribute to a vehicle crash that may result in property damage, personal injury or death.

Fix: Dealers will replace all rear-rear axle brake spiders with a spider that has a different brake group clocking angle free of charge. The recall began on june 29, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Recall 05V-188: Trailer Hitches

Reported Apr 28, 2005 · 4,616 vehicles affected · INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION

Problem: 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.

Fix: 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 04V-569: Structure

Reported Dec 3, 2004 · 17,443 vehicles affected · INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION

Problem: On certain trucks, the bolts that mount the front of the cab to the mounting brackets were not properly torqued at the manufacturing plant.

Risk: These bolts can loosen during normal vehicle use and fall out. This may lead to the cab separating from the vehicle's chassis during a vehicle crash that may result in property damage, personal injury or death.

Fix: As an interim action, dealers will properly tighten the existing cab mounting bolts and replace any missing bolts. As soon as parts are available, dealers will replace all sixteen bolts and tighten them properly. An interim letter was sent to owners on february 11, 2005. Another letter was sent to owners on april 8, 2005, as soon as parts are available. Owners should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Another leaked coolant into the motor oil and subsequently had to have the engine replaced.
