- Engine and engine cooling:engine:diesel
- Manufactured:
- 07/15/2007 - 08/09/2007
- Affected:

- 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.
- Correction:
- 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.
