Defect SummaryOn certain vehicles equipped with air operated fifth wheel slides and an msva 7-pack accessory controller, the 7-pack can allow water to contaminate its circuit board. this could result in inadvertent operation of the fifth wheel slide control.
Consequence SummaryIf the slide control actuates while the vehicle is in motion, momentum from the trailer can cause the fifth wheel to slide without input from the driver, which could result in a crash without warning.
Corrective SummaryDealers will relocate the msva 7-pack to a less water intensive environment. a new msva 7-pack base, that has been improved to prevent water intrusion, and all air accessory solenoids will be installed free of charge. the recall began on august 5, 2005. owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
