Plain-English summary
IH Parts America Inc. is recalling certain CPT Crawler Proven Tech Steering tie rod adjusters with Draglink Intersect Holes, model number CPT-Tierod-ADJ. These parts were sold individually and as part of assemblies CPT-S80/800-TIEROD-4 and CPT-S80/800-TIEROD-8 for replacement use on 1961-65 International Scout 80 and 1966-71 International Scout 800, 800A, and 800B vehicles.
