2001–2004 International 7300 & 2001–2004 International 7500 + 2 more recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks equipped with DT466 or DT530 1308 style engines and 4X4 or 6X6 capability, the universal joint between the front drive shaft and drive axle could come in contact with the engine oil filter under certain braking conditions.
💥 The risk
This could cause a loss of complete engine oil which could result in the engine shutting down and increase the risk of property damage, personal injury, or a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a shorter oil filter and adapter. Owner notification is expected to begin april 29, 2004. 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.)
