2007 Sterling 360 recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2007 Sterling 360 trucks manufactured from January 25, 2006, through January 22, 2007; and equipped with an EPA04 4M50 engine. The fuel lines may crack due to an improper manufacturing process. Additionally, the fuel pipe flare nuts may have been insufficiently tightened.
💥 The risk
Cracked fuel pipes or loose fuel pipe flare nuts may leak fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a vehicle fire.
🔧 The fix
Daimler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel lines and tighten or replace them as needed, free of charge. The safety recall began on February 5, 2013. Owners may contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
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.)
