The defect
On certain trucks, the bolts that mount the front of the cab to the mounting brackets were not properly torqued at the manufacturing plant.

As an interim action, dealers will properly tighten the existing cab mounting bolts and replace any missing bolts. as soon as parts are available, dealers will replace all sixteen bolts and tighten them properly. an interim letter was sent to owners on february 11, 2005. another letter was sent to owners on april 8, 2005, as soon as parts are available. owners should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
