2003 International 8600 Recall

Issued February 28, 2003
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles, the starter field stud may contact the frame rail. If the field stud of the starter contacts the frame rail and the starter is energized there can be a direct full battery current short to the frame (ground) when the starter is in the cranking mode. If the field stud of the starter contacts the frame rail during the engine cranking mode, the direct short can create a fire hazard which may result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealer will replace the starter nose cone. The new nose cone will reorient the starter stud farther away from the frame rail to completely eliminate the clearance issue.
