What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2012 International 7400, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
COMPLAINT OF INEFFECTIVE LOW BEAMS. THIS 4X4 INTERNATIONAL 7400 WORKSTAR HAS BUMPER MOUNTED HEADLAMPS. INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED THAT "GROUND" AND "HIGH BEAM" WIRES WERE SWAPPED, RESULTING IN LOW BEAM CIRCUIT BEING COMPLETED THROUGH BOTH FILAMENTS OF THE HEADLAMP. OUTPUT POWER WAS GREATLY DIMINISHED AND LIGHTING PATTERN WAS DIFFUSE. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN FIXED BY INTERCHANGING THE "GROUND" AND "HIGH BEAM" FEEDS IN THE HEADLAMP PLUGS. *TR
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
