DETROIT DIESEL DD13
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain Detroit Diesel EPA07 and EPA10 DD13 engines manufactured between April 22, 2009, and February 1, 2012, that were installed in heavy-duty trucks and emergency vehicles. The pump-to-rail high pressure fuel line support system on these engines can be damaged during assembly or service work, causing the line supports to loosen and potentially crack, which could result in a fuel leak.
A fuel leak poses two hazards: it could create a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash, and if the leaked fuel contacts an ignition source, it could cause a fire. To remedy this issue, Daimler Trucks will replace the high pressure fuel line support system at no charge through authorized service facilities. Owners should contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712 for more information, though the recall notice does not specify other actions owners should take.
