What is wrong
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH DT466 OR DT530 1308 STYLE ENGINES AND 4X4 OR 6X6 CAPABILITY, THE UNIVERSAL JOINT BETWEEN THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT AND DRIVE AXLE COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ENGINE OIL FILTER UNDER CERTAIN BRAKING CONDITIONS.
What can happen
THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF COMPLETE ENGINE OIL WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN AND INCREASE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SHORTER OIL FILTER AND ADAPTER. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN APRIL 29, 2004. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
