Daimler Trucks is recalling certain 2022-2025 Freightliner Custom Chassis vehicles with Cummins L9 diesel engines because remote fuel filter hoses may separate from the fitting, causing a fuel leak and engine stall.

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: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: hose separation is a physical failure of fuel system containment that both releases fuel and stalls the engine.

Plain-English summary

Daimler Trucks North America LLC is recalling certain 2022-2024 Freightliner Custom Chassis XCM, 2022-2025 Custom Chassis XCR, 2024 Custom Chassis XBS and 2024-2025 Custom Chassis XCS chassis equipped with certain Cummins L9 diesel engines. About 277 units are potentially affected.

The remote fuel filter hoses may separate from the fitting, causing a fuel leak and an engine stall.

NHTSA states that a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire, and that an engine stall increases the risk of a crash.

Cummins will replace the fuel hoses free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 11, 2025. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
