What's wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS. THE DIESEL ENGINE FUEL SHUT OFF SOLENOID CONTAINS INSUFFICIENT WATERPROOF PROTECTION WITH THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SOLENOID COIL WINDINGS.
The risk
WATER ENTRY INTO THE INTERNAL COIL WINDINGS OF THE SOLENOID CAN CAUSE THE COIL WINDINGS TO SHORT CIRCUIT AND NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING ENGINE STOP SOLENOID WITH A REDESIGNED ENGINE STOP MOTOR AND CABLE ASSEMBLY.
