2008 INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR Recalls

Item Affected: STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS

Date Announced: 01/28/2008

Description of Recall: ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE RETENTION SYSTEM OF THE PIN THAT ATTACHES THE HOOD TRAVEL LIMITING SHOCK TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET ON TOP OF THE RADIATOR MAY BECOME DISABLED DUE TO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN IT AND THE GRAB HANDLE POCKET OF THE HOOD. THIS COULD ALLOW THE PIN TO WORK OUT OF THE CONNECTION RESULTING IN THE HOOD SEPARATING FROM THE SHOCK.

Conequence: WITH THE VEHICLE IN A STATIONARY POSITION, THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE A SITUATION WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL OPENING THE HOOD WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE HOOD WITHOUT WARNING WHICH COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Action Need To Fix It: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HOOD/HOOD TRAVEL LIMITING SHOCK CONNECTION PIN AND PIN RETENTION SYSTEM WITH A SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE HOOD GRAB HANDLE POCKET. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 11, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.
