2004 International 5000 recalls
Recall 06V-004: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain trucks equipped with caterpillar diesel engines, the variable valve actuation (Vva) oil line may wear against the sharp edge of the cylinder head if not positioned correctly.
Risk: The oil line may be cut on the cylinder head causing an oil leak and a possible fire.
Fix: Caterpillar, in conjunction with international, will be conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign free of charge. Owners may call caterpillar at 309-675-6496, or international at 1-800-448-7825.
Recall 05V-217: Suspension
Problem: Certain trucks equipped with holland/neway air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
Risk: This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. The recall began on july 8, 2005. Owners may contact international trucks at 1-800-448-7825.
