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 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
