Recall 07V-335: 2007–2008 FCCC MT 45, 2007–2008 Freightliner Argosy and 10 more
FREIGHTLINER LLC recall for fuel system, gasoline, reported to NHTSA on Aug 2, 2007, covering about 4,299 vehicles.
The problem
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.
The risk
The potential exists for the flame to spread resulting in possible personal injury.
The fix
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.
