The problem
Ford is recalling 2,811 my 2008-2009 f-650 and f-750 trucks equipped with c7 or c9 caterpillar diesel engines. The fuel pump outlet check plug May be cracked which could cause fuel to spray and leak.
The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix
Ford is working with caterpillar (please see 08e042). Caterpillar will replace the fuel pump plug free of charge. Owners May contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986, or Ford at 1-800-343-5338 (fleet owners) or 1-866-906-9811 (motor home owners).
