For the 2003 International 9400. 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.

January 29, 2007NHTSA 07V02000021,643 vehicles potentially affected

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

Summary
On certain trucks equipped with caterpillar C10, C11, C12, C13, C15 or C16 engines, the positive battery cables that supply power from the batteries to the starter may rub against an electrical ground cable between the engine and the starter, an electrical ground cable between the frame rail and the starter, or the frame rail itself.
Consequence
This rubbing may cause an electrical short or a fire which can result in property damage, personal injury or death.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the battery cables to determine if any rubbing has occurred. New battery cables will be replaced as necessary. Dealers will also reroute the battery cables between the starter and battery box using new brackets. The recall began on April 20, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

September 25, 2002NHTSA 02V2650002,129 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Gear box › Shaft sector

Summary
On certain heavy duty trucks, the joint between the lower portion of the steering column and the upper end of the intermediate steering shaft may have a missing or loose pinch bolt. This condition could also occur at the lower end of the intermediate steering shaft at the steering gear connection.
Consequence
If a pinch bolt is missing or vibrates loose, the shaft could separate from the steering column or steering gear, and /or allow slippage between the joined shafts, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect both ends of the shaft to ensure the pinch bolt is installed and/or properly torqued. If the bolt and nut are missing, a new bolt, nut, and washer will be installed. Owner notification is expected to begin during September 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.
