DEFECT #1 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL


Posted on: 2007-08-10
Description
On certain trucks equipped with caterpillar c7 and c9 diesel engines, a fuel pump failure will dilute the engine oil with fuel and cause loss of throttle control and excessive smoke.

Consequence
Loss of throttle can increase the risk of a crash and fuel leakage.  In the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage could result in a fire.

Corrective Action
Paccar will work with caterpillar to replace the fuel pump on affected chassis free of charge.  Owners may contact caterpiller at 1-800-447-4986, peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201, or kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.
