Engine and Engine Cooling / Exhaust System / Emission Control
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicles are subject to excessive underhood temperatures and fuel system pressures in severe duty applications.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This creates potential for fuel expulsion from the fuelfiller pipe which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in afire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Install modification kits to minimize possibility of fuel expulsion and to shield underbody components from exhaust system heat.

Fuel System, Diesel
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
When frontally impacted into a fixed barrier at 30 MPH, as specified in federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) no. 301, the left frame rails of such vehicles may displace inboard, pinching the fuel/water separator canister between the frame rail and engine sufficiently to displace the fuel/water separator drain rod, allowing the contents of the canister to drain. Consequence of defect: fuel leak during or after a crash increases the possibility of a fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Install a canister shield, a revised design drain rod shield, and modify fuel/water separator mounting bracket.
