ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH VT-275 ENGINES, THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR OF THE INJECTION PRESSURE REGULATOR (IPR) VALVE ON THE ENGINE CAN FILL WITH RAIN WATER AND ROAD DEBRIS, POSSIBLY CAUSING TERMINAL CORROSION THAT MAY LEAD TO ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE DROPS.
The risk
IF THIS OCCURS, ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF THE IPR VALVE CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. IF AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN OCCURS, THE VEHICLE MAY BECOME STRANDED ON A ROADWAY. THIS MAY LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
