2001–2002 International 7300 & 2002 International 4300 + 5 more recall: windows, wipers & mirrors

⚠️ What's wrong

Certain heavy duty trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 104, "windshield wiping and washing systems." due to the design of the windshield washer pump motor circuit, the system's ability to function is impaired when it is full of frozen water and the pump motor shaft is locked or frozen (cannot rotate).

💥 The risk

Any resultant reduced visibility could cause a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will install a new 10 amp fuse in place of the 5 amp fuse and a new 10 amp label will be placed over the original 5 amp designation on the fuse panel label. Owner notification began on june 27, 2003. 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.)
