The issue

On certain trucks, when a sentinal shutdown unit is activated due to the failure of a monitered system and blocks the engine fuel supply, the fuel pump continues to pump fuel and build pressure. This pressure may cause the fuel filter to fail, spraying the engine compartment and creating a potential fire hazard.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions, quand le module de "Sentinal Shutdown" est activé suite à une défaillance d'un système moniteur, il bloque l'arrivée de carburant au moteur. Cependant la pompe à carburant (Diesel) continue de pomper et bâtit une pression. Cette pression peut créer la rupture du filtre à carburant, créant ainsi une fuite de carburant dans le compartiment du moteur, ce qui crée un risque d'incendie.
