    Trailer Hitches / Fifth Wheel Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain vehicles equipped with air operated fifth wheel slides and an msva 7-pack accessory controller, the 7-pack can allow water to contaminate its circuit board. This could result in inadvertent operation of the fifth wheel slide control.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the slide control actuates while the vehicle is in motion, momentum from the trailer can cause the fifth wheel to slide without input from the driver, which could result in a crash without warning.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will relocate the msva 7-pack to a less water intensive environment. A new msva 7-pack base, that has been improved to prevent water intrusion, and all air accessory solenoids will be installed free of charge. The recall began on august 5, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

    Structure

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
