Recent recall notice affecting Freightliner now also issued for Western Star
The Detroit Diesel engine issues that led to a recall on Daimler’s Freightliner Coronado and Argosy trucks have also affected Penske Commercial Vehicles’ Western Star brand.
Western Star trucks equipped with a DD15TC EPA07/ADR80/03 engine sold between January 1, 2017 and August 31, 2019 may experience fuel leaks from the engine’s high pressure fuel rail feed lines.
“If a fuel leak occurs, this may cause a subsequent engine fire, which could result in serious injury to vehicle occupants and other road users,” the recall notice says.
