For the 2004 International 7400. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

April 28, 2005NHTSA 05V1880004,616 vehicles potentially affected

Trailer hitches › Fifth wheel assembly

Summary: On certain vehicles equipped with air operated fifth wheel slides and an msva 7-pack accessory controller, the 7-pack can allow water to contaminate its circuit board. This could result in inadvertent operation of the fifth wheel slide control.
Consequence: If the slide control actuates while the vehicle is in motion, momentum from the trailer can cause the fifth wheel to slide without input from the driver, which could result in a crash without warning.
Remedy: Dealers will relocate the msva 7-pack to a less water intensive environment. A new msva 7-pack base, that has been improved to prevent water intrusion, and all air accessory solenoids will be installed free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Remedy: As an interim action, dealers will properly tighten the existing cab mounting bolts and replace any missing bolts. As soon as parts are available, dealers will replace all sixteen bolts and tighten them properly. An interim letter was sent to owners on February 11, 2005.
