The problem

Pierce is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 vehicles manufactured from august 28, 2010, through march 27, 2012, equipped with detroit diesel dd13 epa 2007 and epa 2010 diesel engines. The pump to rail high pressure fuel line support system used on these engines is sensitive to assembly torque and may be damaged during service work. As a result of other repairs, the line supports may loosen, potentially leading to fuel line cracking and a fuel leak.

The risk

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.

The fix

Pierce will notify owners, and the high pressure fuel line support system will be replaced by daimler truck north america (dtna) authorized service facilities, free of charge. The safety recall began on july 18, 2012. Owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712 or pierce manufacturing, inc. At 1-920-832-3000.
