Known issues on the 2018 LCF 5500XD. The diesel four comes apart and goes back together to published clearances and torque figures; the fuel and turbocharging systems are checked against specification; the cooling and charging systems have their own figures; the driveline and chassis have their own procedures; and cab electrical faults are traced through wiring diagrams. None of that is recall work — the federal record for this year holds no recalls and no owner complaints.
