2007 Crane LET2 recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain refuse packer trucks equipped with caterpillar C7 or C9 diesel engines, a fuel pump failure will dilute the engine oil with fuel and cause loss of throttle control and excessive smoke.
💥 The risk
Loss of throttle CAN increase the risk of a crash and fuel leakage. In the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Crane carrier will work with caterpillar to replace the fuel pump on affected chassis free of charge. Owners may contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986 or crane carrier at 918-832-7305.
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.)
