- Summary
- On certain heavy duty truck/tractors equipped with sears atlas series 35, 70, or 80 driver's seats, when the seats are in their lowest, most rearward adjusted position, they may chafe the seat belt tether that connects from the seat to the back of the cab.
- Consequence
- This chafing may eventually cut through the tether, thus weakening the effectiveness of the seat belt assembly in a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the vehicles for suspect seat codes and will replace the existing 12" seat tethers with new 13.5" tethers. The recall began on October 7, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

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.
