Plain-English summary
Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Velocity, Dash CF, Contender Big Block, Arrow XT, and Quantum trucks manufactured between August 28, 2010, and March 27, 2012. These vehicles are equipped with Detroit Diesel DD13 EPA 2007 and EPA 2010 diesel engines. The recall affects 313 units.
The pump-to-rail high-pressure fuel line support system on these engines is sensitive to assembly torque and may be damaged during service work. As a result of other repairs, the line supports may loosen, potentially leading to fuel line cracking and a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
Pierce will notify owners, and the high-pressure fuel line support system will be replaced by Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) authorized service facilities free of charge. The safety recall began on July 18, 2012. Owners may contact DTNA at 1-800-547-0712 or Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. at 1-920-832-3000.
