What is wrong
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH VT-275 ENGINES, THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR OF THE INJECTION PRESSURE REGULATOR (IPR) VALVE ON THE ENGINE CAN FILL WITH RAIN WATER AND ROAD DEBRIS, POSSIBLY CAUSING TERMINAL CORROSION THAT MAY LEAD TO ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE DROPS.
What can happen
IF THIS OCCURS, ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF THE IPR VALVE CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. IF AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN OCCURS, THE VEHICLE MAY BECOME STRANDED ON A ROADWAY. THIS MAY LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR CORROSION AND IF A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT IS PRESENT, THE CONNECTOR WILL BE REMOVED AND A NEW, SEALED CONNECTOR INSTALLED. IF NO CORROSION IS PRESENT, THE CONNECTOR WILL BE CLEANED, FILLED WITH DIELECTRIC GREASE AND COVERED WITH A PROTECTIVE WRAP THAT WILL PREVENT FUTURE CORROSION OF THE CONNECTOR TERMINALS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 9, 2006. OWNERS MAY 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.
