Paccar recalls more than 1,700 new Kenworth, Peterbilt tractors for potential fuel pump issue

http://www.ccjdigital.com/paccar-re...3c973&utm_term=newsletter-2-daily-position-3#

"The recall affects approximately 1,737 model year 2017-2018 Peterbilt 367, 389, 567, 579 and 587 trucks manufactured between Dec. 20, 2016, and April 17, 2017, as well as model year 2018 Kenworth C500, T680, T800, T880 and W900 trucks manufactured between Jan. 9, 2017 and May 5, 2017.

The recall states the affected engines could have faulty fuel pumps that can cause the drive gear on the fuel pump to spin loose on the drive shaft, resulting in the loss of the fuel pump’s functionality. This could cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash."

Fat Head requires Amazon to use North Korean made missiles instead of drones to deliver to NK. They either blow up on lift off or crash in the Pacific.
Of course the aerodynamics of BD hats don't help none...
