The issue
On certain trucks, the plastic low-pressure fuel line between the engine-mounted fuel filter and the engine block may develop a diesel fuel leak. The location of the leak is unlikely to result in a vehicle fire; however, diesel fuel spilt on the roadway could endanger other road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery. This could ultimately result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the plastic low-pressure fuel line with a steel version.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions, la canalisation à carburant à basse pression en plastique entre le filtre à carburant fixé sur le moteur et le bloc-moteur pourrait se mettre à laisser fuir du diesel. L'emplacement de la fuite a peu de chances de causer un incendie; cependant, du carburant diesel répandu sur la chaussée pourrait mettre en danger les autres usagers de la route en rendant la chaussée surprenamment glissante. Cela pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la canalisation à carburant basse pression en plastique par une version en acier.
