What is wrong
ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS BUILT WITH INTERNATIONAL CODE 16SCH (LOWER BUNK WEBBING RESTRAINT). FOUR BOLTS HOLD THE BUNK WEBBING RESTRAINT LATCH BRACKETS TO THE BUNK BASE. THESE BOLTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GRADE 8 BOLTS BUT GRADE 5 BOLTS WERE INSTALLED.
What can happen
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE RESTRAINT MAY NOT CONTAIN THE OCCUPANT AS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY REGULATION 393.76 "SLEEPER BERTHS," AND MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE ALL GRADE 5 BOLTS WITH GRADE 8 BOLTS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON MARCH 17, 2003. 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.
