Transport Canada recalls

Fuel System#2011202May 18, 2011
549 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a MaxxForce 7 engine, a cap on the return fuel valve may fall off, allowing air to be drawn into the fuel system. This could result in engine hard start, no start, or stall conditions. Lost vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the return fuel valve assembly.
