International Truck and Engine Corp. is recalling 5000 and 9000 series trucks with Caterpillar C15 diesel engines manufactured in 2004 and 2005 because of the possibility of an oil-line break.
The recall affects 1,714 International trucks, including 1,371 in the United States, 333 in Canada and 10 exports.
