Recall 05V-567: 2002–2006 International 7600, 2002–2006 International 7700 and 1 more
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Dec 21, 2005, covering about 6,848 vehicles.
The problem
On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with caterpillar diesel engines, the engine electrical ground cable that connects the engine block with the starter may be routed in a way that could cause chafing against the starter's positive battery cables.
The risk
If chafing occurs between the positive and negative cables, an electrical short may result and may cause a vehicle fire, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the engine ground cables for proper routing. If any chafing is found, the engine block ground cable will be replaced with a shorter (280mm) cable and any other damaged cables will be replaced and routed correctly free of charge. The recall began on december 21, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
