The problem
Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. (KME) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Predator and 2020-2022 Severe Service vehicles. The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.
The risk
A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel tubes, and install vibration isolators, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 2022. Owners may contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3928.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
