- Summary
- On certain trucks built with iros rear air suspension systems, four rear suspension fasteners may not be tightened sufficiently. This hardware connects the main support members of the rear suspension to the hanger brackets.
- Consequence
- This connection could fail if the nuts worked their way loose or off, or the bolts broke from fatigue. A failure of these fasteners could result in separation of the main support from the hanger bracket possibly resulting in a sudden loss of control of the vehicle, which could result in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace all four bolts and tighten the bolts properly. The recall began on November 5, 2004. Owners should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
- Notes
- International recall no. 04520. Customers can also 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.
