The secondary fuel filter. There was a loud boom and the engine compartment caught on fire. Within 10 minutes the whole truck was engulfed in flames. The truck is completely burnt. The insurance company has inspected the vehicle. No warning lights on the console lit up, no prior symptoms or failure. All happened very suddenly.

Between August 5 and August 9, 2025 we purchased 46 Nebula brand 245/70R 19.5 16PR tires. We experienced a complete tire failure on one of our trucks while operating on the highway. Fortunately, our driver was able to safely steer the truck to the shoulder with minimal damage to the tow truck. Upon closer inspection of the tires we noticed 32 of the tires installed on our fleet began showing a seem all the way around the sidewall. It was the same seem location for all tires. The seem showed visual signs of deterioriation almost as if it was coming undone. We removed the tires from service and have been working with the distributors on a warranty claim.

The operator was driving on the highway when the instrument cluster illuminated with a variety of warnings. The vehicle was pulled to the side of the highway and the operator exited to see the engine compartment was on fire. The vehicle was towed back to the yard and an initial inspection was completed. It was found that the fire was primarily located on the driver side engine compartment, similar to previous fires that we have experienced in our fleet this year.

Operator was completing an inspection of their secondary fuel filter and found that the newly replaced fuel filter was leaking fuel. The filter had been replaced on 5/31/24.
