Defect SummaryCertain trucks equipped with engine starters (code 08wwn or 08wwp) built by leece-neville. these starters have a defective terminal adapter stud. the stud is used only at the positive battery connection to the starter solenoid. it was designed to be screwed on over the existing stud to increase the stud diameter to accommodate the larger size of the positive battery cable terminal. the adapter stud was weakened when the hole was drilled too deep.
Consequence SummaryThis could lead to a direct electrical short to the batteries. if the stud breaks off, the positive battery cable could short directly to ground, which can generate heat and sparks causing a fire.
Corrective SummaryDealers will replace the adapter stud. owner notification began april 15, 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.

Defect SummaryOn certain medium and heavy duty trucks built with driveline parking brake codes 04gar, the parking brake assembly may not hold the vehicle in position when set. factors contributing to this possibility are as follows: (1) cracked or broken cams; (2) loose or broken anchor bolts; (3) initial shoe diameter not set properly during assembly, which can lead to progressive component damage; (4) bent adjuster levers that cannot function; or (5) automatic adjuster cables that are disconnected.
Consequence SummaryIf the parking brake does not function properly, the vehicle could roll, without warning, after the parking brake lever has been set, increasing the risk of a crash.

Defect SummaryOn certain heavy duty trucks equipped with manual transmissions, lower clutch rods with turnbuckles are failing from fatigue near the turnbuckle due to bending forces experienced during each clutch pedal cycle.
