2007 International 5900I recalls
Recall 09V-386: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: Navistar is recalling certain model year 2003 through 2008 heavy trucks manufactured between april 1, 2003 and december 21, 2007, equipped with caterpillar c15 engines. The variable valve actuation (Vva) oil line may wear against the p-clips retaining the oil line, causing an oil leak.
Risk: An oil leak could result in a fire.
Fix: Navistar is working with caterpillar to repair the engines free of charge. Please see 09e-020. The safety recall began on october 23, 2009. Owners may contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986 or navistar at 1-260-461-1890.
Recall 09V-195: Electrical System
Problem: Navistar is recalling 45 model year 2007 through 2010 heavy duty trucks manufactured between january 1, 2007 and may 15, 2009 equipped with feature code 008875 sealed battery cables. The plastic cover that seals the terminal of the cab feed battery cable may prevent proper electrical contact with the fuse or battery terminal post resulting in an open or unprotected circuit.
Risk: An open circuit may result in sudden loss of cab power or engine shut down, possibly resulting in a crash. An unprotected circuit may cause an electrical short which could result in a fire.
Fix: Navistar will notify owners and repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on july 3, 2009. Owners may contact navistar at 1-260-461-1890.
Recall 07V-314: Parking Brake
Problem: On certain 6x4 or 6x6 trucks with air brakes or tractors with air brakes and equipped with bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
Risk: This could delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: International is working with bendix to repair these vehicles (Please see 07e-037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected sr-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge. The recall began on september 28, 2007. Owners may contact bendix at 440-329-9000 and international at 1-800-448-7825.
Recall 06V-384: Suspension
Problem: On certain trucks equipped with chalmers rear suspensions, the adjustable torque rod end castings may be brittle. A brittle rod end casting may fracture without warning, causing the vehicles' rear axles to become misaligned.
Risk: This misalignment can cause the vehicle to lose directional stability at speeds that may result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles to determine if they were manufactured with a suspect torque rod end. If a suspect torque rod end is found, the entire torque rod will be replaced. The recall began on october 6, 2006. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
