What is wrong
Dtna is recalling certain detroit diesel engines, models dd13, dd15, and dd16, manufactured from january 1, 2007 through april 5, 2010, installed as original equipment in certain heavy duty trucks. Should the fuel filter become restricted, the low pressure fuel flange may develop a crack resulting in a leak of diesel fuel.
What could happen
Diesel fuel leaking onto the roadway may result in a vehicle crash.

Dtna will replace the low pressure fuel flange with a more robust component. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on september 17, 2010. Owners may contact detroit diesel at 1-313-592-5800 or daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
