Fuel system, diesel

What is wrong
On certain trucks equipped with davco fuel pro 382 heated fuel filters, when the key is in the 'on' position, the pre-heater, located in the fuel filter base, is energized.
Risk
If this pre-heater is energized while maintenance is being performed on the fuel filter, diesel fuel could ignite within the filter housing. A fire within the fuel filter housing may spread possibly resulting in property damage or personal injury.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the fuel filters and fuel heaters and, if necessary, will replace the fuel heater. The recall began on may 11, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.
