What is wrong
DAIMLER TRUCKS (DTNA) IS RECALLING CERTAIN DETROIT DIESEL EPA07 AND EPA10 DD13 ENGINES MANUFACTURED FROM APRIL 22, 2009, THROUGH FEBRUARY 1, 2012. THESE ENGINES WERE INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON VARIOUS HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES. THE PUMP TO RAIL HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE SUPPORT SYSTEM USED ON THESE ENGINES IS SENSITIVE TO ASSEMBLY TORQUE AND MAY BE DAMAGED DURING SERVICE WORK. AS A RESULT OF OTHER REPAIRS, THE LINE SUPPORTS MAY LOOSEN, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO FUEL LINE CRACKING AND A FUEL LEAK.
What can happen
A FUEL LEAK COULD CREATE A ROAD HAZARD, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ALSO A FUEL LEAK IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DTNA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE SUPPORT SYSTEM WILL BE REPLACED BY DTNA AUTHORIZED SERVICE FACILITIES, FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER, DEALER, AND DISTRIBUTOR DATES WILL BE DETERMINED BASED ON PARTS AVAILABILITY. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DTNA AT 1-800-547-0712.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
