Autocar is recalling 38 model year 2015 Xpeditor 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

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

Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2015 Xpeditor trucks manufactured between May 22, 2014, and July 17, 2014. The recall involves 38 vehicles equipped with Cummins ISB or ISL engines that may have Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009).

The filter shell on these specific fuel filters may separate from the fuel filter nut plate. This defect 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 through Autocar, and dealers will replace the fuel filter with a non-defective one free of charge. The recall began on September 29, 2014. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357. Autocar's number for this recall is A-1410. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
