Reported risk: Issue:
On certain trucks that have the air tank mounted behind the fuel tank, the U-bolts that attach the air tank to the side of the frame may be too long. As a result, a bolt could damage the fuel tank and create a fuel leak.
Safety Risk:
A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.
Corrective Actions:
PACCAR will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to inspect the clearance of the U-bolts that attach the air tank to the side of the frame. If the bolts are too long, the dealer will cut off the excess length. If the fuel tank has damage from contacting a bolt, it will be replaced.
