⚠️ What's wrong
Ford is recalling 2,811 my 2008-2009 F-650 and F-750 trucks equipped with C7 or C9 caterpillar diesel engines. The fuel pump outlet check plug may be cracked which could cause fuel to spray and leak.
💥 The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
