Freightliner Custom Chassis fuel hoses recalled for separation and fire risk

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: This scores High because it involves a documented risk-of-harm vehicle defect (fuel leak and engine stall leading to fire and crash risks) where no injuries or deaths have been reported. The hazard is real but unrealized.

Plain-English summary

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC is recalling certain 2022-2025 Freightliner Custom Chassis trucks equipped with Cummins L9 diesel engines. The remote fuel filter hoses may separate from their fittings, which can cause fuel leaks and engine stalls.
