Ferrara Fire Custom Trucks Recalled for Fuel Filter Defect

Ferrara is recalling 12 model year 2014 Fire Custom trucks because a fuel filter defect may cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. 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, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. is recalling 12 model year 2014 Ferrara Fire Custom trucks manufactured between August 1, 2014, and September 30, 2014. The recall addresses a defect in the Cummins ISB or ISL engines, which may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009). The filter shell on these units may separate from the fuel filter nut plate, causing the engine to stall without warning.

If the engine stalls unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of a crash. All affected vehicles have already been repaired. Consequently, a recall notification notice will not be issued for this campaign.

Owners may contact Ferrara at 1-800-443-9006 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583. Cummins' number for this recall is C1545. 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.
