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.
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).

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
