Defect
On certain trucks built with iros rear air suspension systems, four rear suspension fasteners may not be tightened sufficiently. This hardware connects the main support members of the rear suspension to the hanger brackets.

Remedy
Dealers will replace all four bolts and tighten the bolts properly. The recall began on november 5, 2004. Owners should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
