Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2005–2007 Sterling L-Line vehicles with car hauler bodies and chassis equipped with EPA04 MBE4000 engines with rear-mounted fuel filters, manufactured between September 13, 2004, and October 10, 2007. The lower low pressure fuel lines between the primary fuel pump and engine-mounted fuel filter, and the upper low pressure fuel line between the engine-mounted fuel filter and engine block may develop substantial diesel fuel leaks from cracking or abrasion caused by contact with other components.
A fuel leak onto the roadway could create a slippery road surface and result in a crash. Dealers will replace both the upper and lower low pressure fuel lines with more robust fuel lines at no charge to owners. Daimler Trucks notified owners of the recall during April 2011, and the safety recall began on November 1, 2011. Affected consumers should contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
