For the 2003 International 9100I. 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.

Has your International been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A International dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

These vehicles are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' fire extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Consequence
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

Electrical system › 12V/24V/48V battery › Cables

Summary
On certain 4X2 and 6X4 heavy duty trucks, the positive battery cable between the batteries and the starter may rub against an electrical ground cable between the starter and frame rail.
Consequence
This chafing could cause an electrical short and/or fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the vehicles to determine if any chafing has occurred between positive and negative cables. If there is no evidence of chafing, then a saddle clamp will be installed to ensure cables will not rub. If there is evidence of chafing, the damaged cables will be replaced and the swivel saddle clamp installed. The recall began on August 22, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

March 6, 2003NHTSA 03V072000881 vehicles potentially affected

Electrical system › Alternator/generator/regulator

Summary
On certain heavy duty trucks built with a detroit engine and a leece neville alternator. The electrical terminal at the alternator end of the cable that runs from the starter to the battery stud on the alternator may break off, due to vibration in the cable.
Consequence
If the terminal breaks off, the cab will lose all power, resulting in complete electrical failure and engine shutdown, which may result in a crash and potentially cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
Remedy
Dealers will reroute and rewire the wiring harness to the alternator. Owner notification began on March 13, 2003. 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.

Service brakes, hydraulic › Foundation components › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary
On certain heavy duty trucks, the bolts and locking nuts used to hold the brake spiders or brake anchor plates tight to the axles were under-torqued on the right side of the vehicles. If the clamp load on the bolts is not sufficient, the anchor plate may move when the brake is applied in either the forward or reverse direction.
Consequence
This movement could cause individual brake components to fail or eventually fatigue all the anchor plate mounting bolts. If all the bolts break due to failure, a complete loss of braking at a wheel end could occur.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and tighten all suspect bolts. New wheel seals and new bolts will be installed where applicable. Owner notification is expected to begin during December 2002. 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.
