Workhorse recall: Fuel system, gasoline
What is wrong
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011 workhorse w22 and r26 trucks manufactured from february 5, 2007 through may 24, 2010. The fuel-fill cap assemblies used to seal the unused side of the dual-fill gasoline fuel tank were produced with a hose material that did not meet design specifications. During normal usage the hose material may deteriorate which may result in fuel leaks.
What could happen
A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire which may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
The fix
Dealers will replace the original fuel-fill cap assemblies with ones assembled with hose material that meets design specifications. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before october 8, 2010. Owners may contact navistar at 1-260-461-1890.
