Cummins Fleetguard Fuel Filter Recall for Engine Stalling Risk
Cummins is recalling specific Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters installed on ISB and ISL engines because the filter shell may separate, causing the engine to stall without warning and increasing crash risk.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel filter separation) that causes the engine to stall without warning, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash.
Plain-English summary
Cummins Inc. is recalling certain Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, manufactured between April 25, 2014, and June 29, 2014. These filters have date codes ranging from 14115 through 14180. The affected filters were installed on Cummins ISB engines built from April 28, 2014, to July 9, 2014, and ISL engines built from April 30, 2014, to July 8, 2014. Additionally, these filters were distributed as replacement service parts.
The defect involves the fuel filter shell potentially separating from the fuel filter nut plate. This separation can cause the engine to stall without warning. If the engine stalls unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Cummins will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel filter with a non-defective one free of charge. The recall began on August 20, 2014.
