2005 Peterbilt 201 recalls
Recall 07V-353: Engine and Engine Cooling
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.
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.
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.
