International MXT 4X4: Electrical
Affects International MXT 4X4 · 2007–2008 — about 5 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain trucks, the positive battery cables, that supply power from the batteries to the starter, may be routed near the engine's exhaust manifold. The excess heat generated by the manifold can cause the cable's insulation to melt, exposing bare wire. This may cause an electrical short and/or fire, which can result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the battery cables as necessary; and reroute away from the exhaust manifold.
