The problem
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR C7 OR C9 DIESEL ENGINES, A FUEL PUMP FAILURE WILL DILUTE THE ENGINE OIL WITH FUEL AND MAY CAUSE THE TURBOCHARGER TO FAIL AND CAUSE LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL WITH WARNING.
Risk
THE WARNING MAY BE EXPERIENCED BY ERRATIC PERFORMANCE AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN A SITUATION WHERE A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR.
What owners should do
FORD IS WORKING WITH CATERPILLAR TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE (PLEASE SEE 07E053). OWNERS MAY CONTACT CATERPILLAR AT 309-675-6496 OR FORD AT 1-800-392-3673.
