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 hose separation) that explicitly increases the risk of fire and crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Freightliner Custom Chassis XCR and 2024 XBS and XCM chassis vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the remote fuel filter hoses may become separated from the fittings.
This separation can result in a fuel leak and a lack of fuel supply to the engine. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. Additionally, a lack of fuel can cause an engine stall, which increases the risk of a crash.
Owners of affected vehicles should contact DTNA customer service at 800-745-8000 to schedule a repair. Cummins will replace the fuel filter hoses free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 8, 2024. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
