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.
Remedy
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.
