- Summary
- On certain school buses and heavy duty trucks built with international VT365 engines and manufactured at international diesel of alabama. The injector driver modules (idm) built for the VT365 engines could have missing vibration damping/retention shells and a missing hot-melt process on the DC/DC boards.
- Consequence
- The missing shells could allow the larger electronic components to become loose and possible break off inside the module during engine operation. Depending on what electrical component comes off, the effect on engine operation could result in rough running, loss of power, no start, or in the most severe case, immediate engine shut down without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the idm modules. Owner notification began October 28, 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.
- Notes
- Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

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.
