Defect
On light-duty trucks, the DPF muffler mounting bracket is incorrectly positioned, causing it to contact the fuel line on affected vehicles. Driving vibration and related stresses can damage the fuel line, resulting in a fuel leak. In the worst case, this may lead to a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the DPF muffler mounting bracket with a corrected part and reposition it to eliminate interference with the fuel line. Additionally, inspect the fuel line for damage caused by contact with the bracket; if damage is found, repair or replace the fuel line.
