Recall 07V-353: 2005 Peterbilt 201
PACCAR INCORPORATED recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Aug 10, 2007, covering about 85 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks equipped with caterpillar c7 and 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 fix
Paccar will work with caterpillar to replace the fuel pump on affected chassis free of charge. Owners may contact caterpiller at 1-800-447-4986, peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201, or kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.
