Freightliner in certain driving conditions, such as on a long down-hill grade, the fuel line may burst if the fuel pump cooling circuit screen becomes restricted.
The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the engine diesel. Here is what owners need to know.
In certain driving conditions, such as on a long down-hill grade, the fuel line may burst if the fuel pump cooling circuit screen becomes restricted.
If the fuel line bursts, fuel may leak onto the road resulting in a roadway hazard for other motorists. The engine may also stall without warning, resulting in the vehicle's inability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the affected nylon fuel line with a steel fuel line, free of charge.
