Fuel system, gasoline › Delivery

Summary: On certain trucks, a manufacturing error in the fuel-water separator preheater thermoswitch may prevent the fuel preheater from turning off if the ignition is left on. If the ignition switch is left on when fuel is added to the fuel- water separator at the factory or during a filter element change, a small flame may occur inside the filter cover.
Consequence: The potential exists for the flame to spread resulting in possible personal injury.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the fuel filter date code and thermoswitch lot code to determine if they contain the suspect component free of charge. The recall began on October 4, 2007. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
