Recall 02V-204: 2002–2003 International 3200, 2002–2003 International 4200
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Jul 26, 2002, covering about 1,054 vehicles.
The problem
On certain school buses and heavy duty trucks built with international vt365 engines and manufactured at international diesel of alabama. The injector driver modules (Idm) built for the vt365 engines could have missing vibration damping/retention shells and a missing hot-melt process on the DC/DC boards.
The risk
The missing shells could allow the larger electronic components to become loose and possible break off inside the module during engine operation. Depending on what electrical component comes off, the effect on engine operation could result in rough running, loss of power, no start, or in the most severe case, immediate engine shut down without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the idm modules. Owner notification began october 28, 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.
