The defect
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 risk
THE MELTING OF THE LINE COULD RESULT IN IMMEDIATE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
