2005–2006 International 5000 & 2005–2006 International 7000 + 2 more recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with accuride aluminum wheels, the wheels were not properly pre-stressed. This allows cracks to develop over time.

This may eventually lead to wheel failure and possibly result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the wheels free of charge. The recall began on may 13, 2005. Owners may 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.)
