Issue
On certain vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine and a middle position fuel tank, there could be inadequate adhesion between the protective shield and the fuel conditioning module. This could allow for the the shield to be dislodged by road debris or water spray, which could force open the drain valve on the module. If the drain valve were to be forced open, this could result in substantial fuel leak. It could also allow for air ingress into the fuel system, which may cause the engine to stumble. A substantial fuel leak on a road surface could increase the risk of a crash, and a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the adhesive mounted protective shield on the fuel conditioning module with a bolt-on metallic protective shield.
