ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS, THE FUEL LINE IS ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO A TURBO CHARGER OUTLET/EXHAUST PIPE. IF AN INTERFERENCE CONDITION OCCURS BETWEEN THE FUEL HARNESS AND THE EXHAUST PIPE, THE FUEL LINE INSIDE THE REFLECTIVE HEAT WRAP COULD MELT DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT.
THE MELTING OF THE LINE COULD RESULT IN IMMEDIATE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR PROPER ROUTING OF THE FUEL HARNESS. IF THE HARNESS IS ROUTED NEAR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, A NEW FUEL HARNESS WILL BE INSTALLED.

OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.
