What this recall means for you
The fuel pump drive gear on certain engines in these trucks and chassis may slip on its drive shaft, which can cause the fuel pump to stop working.
If the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall suddenly with no warning and cannot be restarted, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should be alert to this hazard and check whether their vehicle is covered.
Cummins will send notices to affected owners, and Cummins dealers will replace the fuel pumps free of charge. You can contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000 (DTNA recall FL744). You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
