The base plate of the engine oil cooler may crack allowing pressurized oil to leak into the engine compartment.

Fix: International will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on november 21, 2008. Owners may contact international at 800-448-7825.
Recall 07V-314: Parking Brake
Problem: 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.
Fix: 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 07V-179: Suspension
Problem: On certain trucks, one or both rear axle housings may contain thinner material than what is necessary for normal vehicle operation. Over time, this thinner material may result in a fatigue failure of the rear axle housing, possibly in the location of the brake flange.
Risk: A crack in the brake flange location of the rear axle housing may result in a wheel end lockup or wheel separation possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicle's rear axles and, if necessary, replace the axle housings. The recall began on may 18, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7815.
