What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with t444e diesel engines. A fuel leak can occur because of overcrimping of the hose end fittings on the hose from the regulator to the left head and the hose from the fuel transfer pump to the regulator.

Possible consequence

Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the oil hose and place an additional convoluted loom around the existing oil hose, or replace the hose assembly.
