2006 International 9400I recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the hose connecting the engine block to the frame is routed near the engine's turbocharger. Heat from the turbocharger may cause the hose to melt.
💥 The risk
If melting of the hose occurs, engine oil could spray upward onto the surface of the turbocharger housing possibly causing smoke or a fire. This may lead to property damage, personal injury or death.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the hose free of charge with a higher thermal resistance and a kevlar reflective heat wrap will be installed over the new hose. The recall began on may 25, 2006. 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.)
