What is wrong
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.
What can happen
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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

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.
