What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN REFUSE PACKER TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR C7 OR C9 DIESEL ENGINES, A FUEL PUMP FAILURE WILL DILUTE THE ENGINE OIL WITH FUEL AND CAUSE LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE.

The risk

LOSS OF THROTTLE CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH AND FUEL LEAKAGE. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, FUEL LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

The remedy

CRANE CARRIER WILL WORK WITH CATERPILLAR TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ON AFFECTED CHASSIS FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CATERPILLAR AT 1-800-447-4986 OR CRANE CARRIER AT 918-832-7305.

Notes

CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
