What is wrong
On certain trucks equipped with caterpillar c7 or c9 diesel engines, a fuel pump failure will dilute the engine oil with fuel and may cause the turbocharger to fail and cause loss of throttle control with warning.
The risk
The warning may be experienced by erratic performance and excessive smoke. Both of these conditions may result in a situation where a vehicle crash could occur.
The fix
Ford is working with caterpillar to have the fuel pump replaced free of charge (please see 07e053). Owners may contact caterpillar at [removed] or ford at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Ford recall no. 07v11. Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-[removed] (tty 1-[removed]), or go to [link removed]
