Engine complaints
Complaint regarding two accidents involving mack truck cv713 where both flipped onto the passenger side and caught fire. *Kb lawyer writing in on behalf of consumer. The lawyer stated it was his belief that there was a design defect in the turbo charger assembly which allowed oil to escape from the engine and ignite on a hot surface of the engine, possibly the turbo charger or manifold exhaust system. The lawyer also stated he was concerned with the fuel system which was not designed with a safety check valve to prevent the flow of diesel fuel from the tank which possibly accelerated the oil fire. *Jb
