Plain-English summary
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2007 Sterling 360 trucks manufactured between January 25, 2006, and January 22, 2007. These vehicles are equipped with an EPA04 4M50 engine. The recall involves approximately 1,601 vehicles.
The fuel lines on these trucks may crack due to an improper manufacturing process. Additionally, the fuel pipe flare nuts may have been insufficiently tightened. A cracked fuel pipe or loose flare nut may leak fuel, which could result in a vehicle fire if an ignition source is present.
