SAFETY RECALL Rear Axle Spring Wedge Shim on certain 2023 International® HV™ Series trucks built 04/29/2022 thru 12/07/2022 and 2023 and 2024 International® MV™ Series trucks built 02/24/2022 thru 01/18/2023 with feature code 14VAD, 14VAG, or 14VAH (Suspension, rear, single with vari-rate springs)

 

DEFECT DESCRIPTION

The rear axle spring wedge shim may have been installed in the incorrect orientation ( 180-degrees ).

U-joint failure resulting in drive shaft separation from the vehicle can increase the risk of a vehicle crash that may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
