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.

Consequence

THESE BOLTS CAN LOOSEN DURING NORMAL VEHICLE USE AND FALL OUT. THIS MAY LEAD TO THE CAB SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE'S CHASSIS DURING A VEHICLE CRASH THAT MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy

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.
