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.
Risk and remedy
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.
Remedy
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.
On certain trucks, the cab entry steps were manufactured incorrectly causing them to have lower material strength properties than designed. these lower material strength properties can allow the step tread to fracture and separate from the vehicle under normal usage.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Step tread separation while a person IS entering or exiting the cab, may result in properly damage or personal injury.
Remedy
Dealers will install reinforced metal brackets on both cab entry step platforms. the recall began on december 2, 2005. owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
