What's wrong?

The high-pressure fuel pump element on these 2009-2011 Freightliner Cascadia, Century, Columbia, Coronado, M2, and 4900 heavy trucks is part of the diesel fuel delivery system. On DD13 and DD15 engines, the pump raises fuel pressure before the fuel reaches the engine injectors. That pressure helps the engine meter and burn diesel fuel correctly.

The recalled trucks use a Bosch pump element with a barrel that can crack. The filing ties the crack to hydrogen induced stress corrosion, which means hydrogen trapped in the metal weakens the part under stress. As the crack grows over time, diesel fuel can leak from the pump area instead of staying sealed inside the fuel system.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or technician can find the problem only after fuel starts leaking or during an inspection of the pump area.

What's the safety risk?

An undetected diesel fuel leak can spill fuel onto the roadway and increase the risk of a crash. Treat any sign of leaking fuel as a reason to park safely and call a Freightliner dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Freightliner dealer once available.
