Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2009-2011 Freightliner Cascadia, Century, Columbia, Coronado, M2, and Western Star 4900 heavy trucks manufactured between February 19, 2009 and July 9, 2010. These vehicles are equipped with specific DD13 and DD15 engines that contain a Bosch high pressure fuel pump element which may develop a crack due to hydrogen induced stress corrosion. Over time, this crack can cause a diesel fuel leak.
If a diesel fuel leak continues undetected, fuel may spill onto the roadway and potentially cause a crash. Daimler Trucks will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about March 28, 2011. Owners may contact Daimler Trucks toll-free at 1-800-547-0712.
