International Truck and Engine: Seats
International Truck and Engine reported this defect to federal regulators on May 24, 1995 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 5,752. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
THE SWIVEL SEAT ASSEMBLY ATTACHMENTS BETWEEN THE UPPER AND LOWER PORTIONS ARE INADEQUATE TO INSURE THAT THE ASSEMBLY WILL STAY TOGETHER DURING NORMAL USE. VIBRATION CAN CAUSE THE ATTACHING BOLTS TO WORK LOOSE AND FALL OUT.
The risk
SHOULD THE BOLTS FALL OUT, THE SEAT SWIVEL ASSEMBLY WOULD SEPARATE. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT COULD CAUSE THE OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW RE-DESIGNED SWIVEL MOUNT/STOP RING, A SPACER AND NEW LONGER MOUNTING BOLTS.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 95V104000.
