Autocar Recalls 2015 Xspotter Trucks Due to Fuel Filter Defect

Autocar is recalling 19 model year 2015 Xspotter heavy-duty trucks because a fuel filter defect may cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The defect presents a risk of harm (engine stall leading to increased crash risk) but the source text does not report any injuries, deaths, or specific crash incidents, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Autocar Industries, LLC is recalling certain model year 2015 Xspotter heavy-duty trucks manufactured between May 23, 2014, and June 13, 2014. The recall involves 19 vehicles equipped with Cummins ISB or ISL engines that may have Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009). In these vehicles, the filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate, which can cause the engine to stall without warning.

If the engine stalls unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of a crash. The recall began in August 2014. Cummins will notify owners on behalf of Autocar, and Cummins service centers will replace the fuel filter free of charge.

Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583. Autocar's number for this recall is T-1409. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
