OUR AGENCY PURCHASED FOUR 2005, 7400 INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS TO BE USED AS FIRE APPARATUS. SINCE THE FIRST TRUCK WENT INTO SERVICE IN APRIL OF 2005 WE HAVE HAD A SERIES OF AIR COMPRESSOR FAILURES. THE HEAD GASKETS LEAK COOLANT INTO THE VEHICLE'S AIR SYSTEM. THIS REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR ALONG WITH THE AIR DRYER CARTRIDGE. THE FIRST VEHICLE IS GOING ON IT'S FIFTH UNIT. ANOTHER LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE MOTOR OIL AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. THE OTHER TWO VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE AIR COMPRESSOR HEAD GASKETS REPLACED TO TRY AND PREVENT A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE. THE AIR COMPRESSORS ARE MANUFACTURED BY BENDIX. *NM
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
