International Harvester models and model years in NHTSA’s complaints file
The 2 model years below hold 26 owner complaints in all. A model with 3 or more model years opens on its year-by-year table; a model with fewer is linked year by year.
How to read these pages
- NHTSA publishes owner reports without verifying them. A complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it does not rate a model.
- A model year has a page only with 10 or more complaints; names are those NHTSA files the complaints under.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
