2003 Peterbilt 320 recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain trucks equipped with nexgen liquid natural gas (lng) tanks are being recalled. The introduction of water into the discharge side of both the primary and secondary relief valves simultaneously and subsequent freezing in service CAN render the valves temporarily inoperative.
💥 The risk
If not inspected the risk of tank over-pressurization and a catastrophic tank rupture CAN occur, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
🔧 The fix
Nexgen will notify the customer, perform an inspection, and provide instructions for ordering and installing the retrofit kit. Owners should contact nexgen at 1-770-720-6780 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
