NHTSA is investigating 200,000 diesel-powered Ford Super Duty trucks due to reports of fuel leaks, including fires and injuries.
The U.S. auto safety regulator said on Friday it was opening a preliminary evaluation into 210,960 Ford vehicles following complaints alleging diesel fuel leaks that may result in a fire.
The agency said a fracture in the secondary fuel filter in the vehicles could result in a fire, as the proximity of the filter to high heat sources creates a potential for auto-ignition thermal events and fires. Ford said it was working with the NHTSA to support its investigation. Allevard Sogefi USA's parent Sogefi was not immediately available for a comment.
