What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with a t444e diesel engine. The high pressure oilline for the fuel injection system that goes from the high pressure oil pump to the right cylinder head can chafe against the charge air cooler crossover pipe.

Possible consequence

If this condition occurs, the hose will fail, resulting in a sudden loss of oil, causing the engine to have a sudden loss of power.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the hoses and if the hose is not damaged a convoluted hose will be placed over the current hose. If the hose is damaged, it will be replaced along with the convoluted hose.
