2005–2006 International CF500 & 2005–2006 International CF600 recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the cab entry steps were manufactured incorrectly causing them to have lower material strength properties than designed. These lower material strength properties CAN allow the step tread to fracture and separate from the vehicle under normal usage.
💥 The risk
Step tread separation while a person is entering or exiting the cab, may result in properly damage or personal injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install reinforced metal brackets on both cab entry step platforms. The recall began on december 2, 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.)
