Risk: If chafing occurs between the positive and negative cables, an electrical short May result and May cause a vehicle fire, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.

Original NHTSA wording

Trailer Hitches

Apr 28, 2005 · NHTSA campaign 05V188000 · 4,616 vehicles

Problem: On certain vehicles equipped with air operated fifth wheel slides and an msva 7-PACK accessory controller, the 7-PACK can allow water to contaminate its circuit board. This could result in inadvertent operation of the fifth wheel slide control.

Original NHTSA wording

ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR OPERATED FIFTH WHEEL SLIDES AND AN MSVA 7-PACK ACCESSORY CONTROLLER, THE 7-PACK CAN ALLOW WATER TO CONTAMINATE ITS CIRCUIT BOARD. THIS COULD RESULT IN INADVERTENT OPERATION OF THE FIFTH WHEEL SLIDE CONTROL.

Risk: If the slide control actuates while the vehicle is in motion, momentum from the trailer can cause the fifth wheel to slide without input from the driver, which could result in a crash without warning.

Original NHTSA wording

IF THE SLIDE CONTROL ACTUATES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, MOMENTUM FROM THE TRAILER CAN CAUSE THE FIFTH WHEEL TO SLIDE WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

Remedy & notes

Dealers will relocate the msva 7-PACK to a less water intensive environment. A new msva 7-PACK base, that has been improved to prevent water intrusion, and all air accessory solenoids will be installed free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2005. Owners May contact International at 1-800-448-7825.
