Recall 02V-137: 1990 International 1000, 1990 International 3000 and 8 more
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE recall for wheels, reported to NHTSA on May 10, 2002, covering about 801 vehicles.
The problem
Certain heavy duty trucks, truck tractors, and buses equipped with 195/75r22.5 tires mounted on 7.5 inch wide wheels fail to comply with requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." these tires and rims do not match.
The risk
Tires mounted on rims that are too narrow could experience a decrease in sidewall durability, and could also experience higher treadwear for tires mounted on the steering axle.
The fix
Dealers will install new rims of an acceptable width (8.25 - 9 9inches) for the 295/75r22.5 tire size. Owner notification began august 23, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
