Recall Summary:On certain heavy duty trucks, the fuel line is routed too close to a turbo charger outlet/exhaust pipe. If an interference condition occurs between the fuel harness and the exhaust pipe, the fuel line inside the reflective heat wrap could melt due to excessive heat.
How to Fix:Dealers will inspect the vehicles for proper routing of the fuel harness. If the harness is routed near the exhaust system, a new fuel harness will be installed.
