Product recall: Western Star trucks
A potential fuel leak has triggered the recall of over 2900 trucks with DD15 engines sold over the past decadeA product safety recall has been issued by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission for Western Star trucks fitted with Detroit Diesel DD15 engines and sold nationally in Australia from January 1, 2010, through to November 30, 2020. The recall affects some 2918 vehicles.
According to the ACCC product recall notice, the affected trucks may develop a fuel leak from the engine's high-pressure fuel rail feed lines, which "may cause a subsequent engine fire, which could result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users."
Affected owners should contact their authorised Western Star truck dealer to arrange for the replacement of the two high-pressure fuel rail feed lines and supporting hardware.
