- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the battery cables and replace them if necessary and reroute them away from the engine exhaust manifold free of charge. The recall began on February 22, 2008. 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.
