Recall 06V-378: 2005–2006 International CF500, 2005–2006 International CF600
INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Oct 3, 2006, covering about 1,596 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks equipped with vt-275 engines, the electrical connector of the injection pressure regulator (Ipr) valve on the engine can fill with rain water and road debris, possibly causing terminal corrosion that may lead to electrical voltage drops.
The risk
If this occurs, erratic behavior of the ipr valve can cause the engine to shut down without warning while the vehicle is in operation. If an engine shutdown occurs, the vehicle may become stranded on a roadway. This may lead to property damage, personal injury or death.
The fix
Dealers will inspect for corrosion and if a significant amount is present, the connector will be removed and a new, sealed connector installed. If no corrosion is present, the connector will be cleaned, filled with dielectric grease and covered with a protective wrap that will prevent future corrosion of the connector terminals. The recall began on november 9, 2006. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
