PROBLEM
Show/hide table
The fuel heater hose needs to be replaced. The existing fuel heater hose can fail due to high exhaust heat, causing coolant to spray on the exhaust which may cause a fire hazard and, in conjunction with other conditions and circumstances, result in personal injury or death. In addition to the fuel heater hose change, the software on the engine will be updated. |
