The short version

Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the storage tank assembly. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected fuel systems, due to a separation of the valve seat from the valve stem, the manual tank shutoff valve can get internally stuck in the closed position while being opened, although the knob may indicate that the valve is open.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the valve is stuck closed, the flow of fuel would be blocked from the fuel container to the engine. Such a condition poses a safety risk to service personnel as there is no safe way to depressurize the fuel system and service the subject valve when it is stuck in the closed position, increasing the risk of injury to the service personnel.

WHAT TO DO

DTNA will notify owners, and Agility Fuel Systems dealers will replace the valve seat and stem assembly, free of charge.
