How do I know if my 2004 International Re has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 2 campaigns currently list the 2004 International Re; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.
Is the recall repair free?

What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
