What is wrong
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE CAB ENTRY STEPS WERE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY CAUSING THEM TO HAVE LOWER MATERIAL STRENGTH PROPERTIES THAN DESIGNED. THESE LOWER MATERIAL STRENGTH PROPERTIES CAN ALLOW THE STEP TREAD TO FRACTURE AND SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL USAGE.
What can happen
STEP TREAD SEPARATION WHILE A PERSON IS ENTERING OR EXITING THE CAB, MAY RESULT IN PROPERLY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL REINFORCED METAL BRACKETS ON BOTH CAB ENTRY STEP PLATFORMS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 2, 2005. 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.
