-SET OF DUALS CAME OFF DUE TO AXLE NUT COMING LOOSE- 2007 INTERNATIONAL 5900 DUMP TRUCK WITH MILEAGE 109,521 ON JUNE 26, 2009 WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A COUNTY HIGHWAY THE TRUCK ACTED AS IF IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR WHEN HE COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK TO DRIVE AGAIN HE WAS BEGINNING TO PULL OVER WHEN HE NOTICED THE DUALS WERE SLIDING OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK ON THE LEFT FRONT DRIVE AXLE. PACKER CITY INTERNATIONAL A LOCAL DEALER IN WAS CALLED AND THEY SENT A SERVICE TRUCK OUT AND ALSO HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK FOR ASSISTANCE TO GET THE TRUCK BACK FOR REPAIRS. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND ONCE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A FAILURE ON BEHALF OF THE AXLE WHEEL NUT (MERITOR). THIS UNIT IS A 2007 WITH ONLY 109,521 MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN WORKED ON OTHER THAN AT THE DEALER WE FEEL IT SHOULD BE A WARRANTY ISSUE AND HAVE DISPUTED THE CHARGES HOWEVER INTERNATIONAL HAS REJECTED IT AS A WARRANTY ISSUE. WE HAVE IN OUR POSSESSION THE AXEL NUT FROM THE UNIT AND IT IS VERY APPARENT THAT THERE WAS NEVER A LOCKING CLIP OR PIN ON ONE SIDE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY WELD OR MARKINGS THAT CLEARLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN VISIBLE ON THE NUT. THE AXLES ON THIS UNIT ARE MERITOR; AXLES OF THIS TYPE HAVE MERITOR PART #S 227,228,229 AND 230. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY TO NOT ONLY THE DRIVER OF THIS UNIT AND ALSO TO ALL OTHER MOTORIST ON THE HIGHWAY THAT DAY, EVEN WORST YET IT COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL SITUATION. WE ARE NOT ONLY CONCERNED ON THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD OCCUR SHOULD THERE BE FUTURE FAILURES SUCH AS THE ONE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED BUT ALSO WITH THE EXPENSES THAT SHOULD NOT BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THEIR FAULTY PARTS. IT IS IN OUR OPINION THAT MERITOR AND INTERNATIONAL SHOULD INVESTIGATE SUCH PARTS FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL, ALSO WE ARE SUGGESTING THAT SUCH MODELS WITH THE PART NUMBERS LISTED ABOVE BE UPDATED TO A DOUBLE NUT SYSTEM. *TR

Manufacturer communications
A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This tool is designed to compare Diamond Logic feature data across multiple vehicle configuration files. It allows users to quickly load files either manually or directly from the Diamond Logic Builder Vehicles folder using VIN-based selection. As files are added or removed, the comparison runs automatically with no manual action required. The program presents results in an interactive table that shows feature codes, descriptions, access levels, and whether each feature is present in each selected file. Built-in search, filtering, and sorting make it easy to locate specific features or focus only on differences between files. Column visibility can be customized to show or hide descriptions and access information as needed. Users can remove files individually or clear all files at once, with results updating instantly. The tool also includes reporting and export options that reflect exactly what is visible on screen, allowing results to be printed, copied, saved as text, or exported to CSV for use in Excel or other spreadsheet tools. Overall, the program streamlines the process of comparing vehicle feature configurations, helping users quickly identify differences, validate setups, and document results without manual comparison or external tools.

In some geographic areas, ambient temperatures reaching below 15°F (-10 °C), including high levels of humidity, an operator may experience engine stalling, low performance, and or poor aftertreatment performance. This is caused by condensation accumulating and freezing within the Charge Air Cooler (CAC); affecting air flow into the engine. This article lists all the currently available winter front covers that can be installed on the front grille and bumper to reduce cold air flow to the engine compartment.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
