FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL

The defect
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Peterbilt 337, 348, 365, 367, 520, 567, Kenworth T270, T370, T440, T470, T800 and T880 vehicles. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high pressure fuel rail assembly to leak.
What it can cause
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
What the dealer does
Dealers will inspect the rail threads and fuel lines, and replace the rail as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact PACCAR customer service at 1-425-828-5888 (Kenworth) or 1-940-591-4220 (Peterbilt). PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 21KWC and 21PBD.
NHTSA's note
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

Which vehicles

A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares

At 612 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 53% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Peterbilt vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 3 times before this, most recently in July 2017 as 17V443000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 21 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V915000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 24V190000 (power train), 24V145000 (service brakes, air), 23V717000 (seat belts).

Check your own car

A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
