SERVICE PROCEDURE
18503
May, 2018
SUBJECT: SAFETY RECALL
Fuel / Water Separator Inlet Fuel Line Connector on certain International Series vehicles built 01 February 2017 thru 22 January 2018 with either a 483 Model Fuel I Water Separator feature code 0015LMC, 0015LMD, 0015LNC, 0015LND, or 0015LPK with Drum Brakes or a 488 Model Fuel / Water Separator feature code 0015LNL, 0015LNM, or 0015LPL.
DEFECT DESCRIPTION
The fender splash panel may contact the inlet fuel line fitting to the fuel / water separator resulting in a rub condition that could cause abrasion damage to the fitting. Abrasion damage to a fuel line fitting may result in a fuel leak that could cause fuel to spill on the roadway and increase the risk of a motor vehicle crash resulting in property damage or personal injury.
MODELS INVOLVED
This safety recall involves certain International LT Series vehicles built 01
February 2017 thru 22 January 2018 with either a 483 Model Fuel / Water Separator feature code 0015LMC, 0015LMD, 0015LNC. 0015LND, or 0015LPK with Drum Brakes or a 488 Model Fuel / Water Separator feature code 0015LNL, 0015LNM, or 0015LPL.
