2007 International MXT recalls
Recall 08V-258: Electrical System
Problem: Navistar is recalling 51,588 heavy trucks, commercial buses and school buses manufactured between november 21, 2000 and may 21, 2008, equipped with one or more remote power modules. The potting material that encapsulates the circuit board of the vehicle's remote power module may not sufficiently seal the circuit board from water and contamination intrusion. If the encapsulation is compromised, water and contaminants may cause an internal electrical short, possibly resulting in a fire.
Risk: A fire could cause personal injury or death.
Fix: Navistar will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on july 10, 2008. Owners may contact navistar at 1-280-461-1890.
Recall 07V-499: Electrical System
Problem: On certain trucks, the positive battery cables that supply power from the batteries to the starter may be routed near the engine's exhaust manifold. The excess heat generated by the manifold can cause the cable's insulation to melt, exposing bare wire.
Risk: This condition may cause an electrical short or a fire, which can result in property damage, personal injury or death.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the battery cables and replace them if necessary and reroute them away from the engine exhaust manifold free of charge. The recall began on february 22, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
