Reported risk: Issue:
A problem with the engine-block heater cable or the terminals that connect the heater cable to the block heater could cause a short circuit.
Note: This problem only affects trucks equipped with a International diesel 6.6 litre engine and the optional engine-block heater cable.
Safety Risk:
A short circuit could cause damage to engine components and create the risk of a fire.
Corrective Actions:
Stop use of your engine-block heater immediately. The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the block heater with a redesigned part. Do not use your engine-block heater until the repairs are performed.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
