The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with a DD13 and DD15 engines, over time, the barrel of the Bosch high pressure fuel pump element may develop a crack due to hydrogen induced stress corrosion, which could result in a diesel fuel leak. Diesel fuel spilt on the roadway could endanger other road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery. Correction: Dealers will replace the high pressure fuel pump element with a more robust version.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules munis d'un moteur DD13 ou DD15, le baril de l'élément de pompe à carburant haute pression Bosch pourrait, à la longue, se fissurer à cause d'une corrosion sous contrainte produite par l'hydrogène et cela pourrait causer un fuite de diesel. Une fuite non détectée pourrait épandre du carburant sur la chaussée, ce qui pourrait causer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la pompe à carburant à haute pression par une pompe plus robuste.
