ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
If the cable contacts the metal edge of the cab, it may cause an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
14 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
If the cable contacts the metal edge of the cab, it may cause an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
If the LPM overheats and fails, there is an increased risk of a fire.
S-cam bracket fractures may result in an inoperative brake on the affected wheel. This will cause the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly during braking and/or increase the stopping distance. Either result may increase the risk of a crash.
If the sun shade separates from the cab roof during vehicle operation, the sudden release of the sun shade could distract the driver increasing the risk of a crash.
In the event of a crash, the seat may may come loose resulting in an increased risk of injury to the seat occupant.
If the parking brake does not fully release, the service brakes may lock up without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2012 INTERNATIONAL WORKSTARs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
