Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain heavy trucks from model years 2004 through 2008 that were manufactured between July 11, 2003, and September 28, 2007. These vehicles are equipped with EPA04 model MBE4000 engines and have plastic low pressure fuel lines with fuel filters mounted near the center of the engine on the left-hand side. The plastic fuel line between the engine-mounted fuel filter and engine block may develop a substantial diesel fuel leak.
A leaking fuel line could create a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash, and fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Daimler Trucks will notify owners, and authorized Detroit Diesel Corporation repair facilities will inspect the vehicles and replace the plastic low pressure fuel line with a steel low pressure fuel line at no charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on October 28, 2011, and the safety recall began on February 21, 2012. Owners should contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
