IH had some serious law suits due to fire when the cap either leaked or someone opened it and it had pressure in it. Replaced a lot of them and also every IH dealer was issued a tool to reform the gas tank cap locking mechanism for a proper fit of the new cap. New cap is double baffled to reduce leakage and keep vent from plugging and causing pressure buildup. Didn't help when a guy smoking a cigarette opened the cap from what we were told. Another bad one was the placement of the battery on the early model cub cadets. Some one shorted a metal gas can against the battery live terminal so there was a law suit over that. I think it was a young kid but not sure. Never know if the stories you are told are correct or not. Case also had a gas cap replacement program that went right along with IH with the merger. I think IH put a end date on the program at one time but the gov't stepped in again and said, no way. It may go on forever.
