What this recall means for you

An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash, particularly when a heavy truck loses power unexpectedly in traffic. Owners should take this seriously and have the repair completed as soon as possible.
The replacement of the fuel pump is free of charge at a Cummins dealer. Cummins will notify the vehicle purchaser directly. You can also contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or PACCAR customer service at 1-425-468-7400 (PACCAR recall number C1909).
