💥 Crash riskNHTSA 02V205📅 Aug 1, 2002

2002–2003 International 7300 & 2002–2003 International 7400 + 1 more recall: fuel system

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain heavy duty trucks, the fuel line is routed too close to a turbo charger outlet/exhaust pipe. If an interference condition occurs between the fuel harness and the exhaust pipe, the fuel line inside the reflective heat wrap could melt due to excessive heat.

💥 The risk

The melting of the line could result in immediate engine shut down, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will inspect the vehicles for proper routing of the fuel harness. If the harness is routed near the exhaust system, a new fuel harness will be installed. Owner notification began december 27, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
