What this recall means for you
Certain heavy trucks with Cummins ISX15 or X15 diesel engines may have a fuel line that bursts during certain driving conditions, such as on a long downhill grade. This happens when the fuel pump cooling circuit screen becomes restricted, which can cause the nylon fuel line to fail.
If the fuel line bursts, fuel may leak onto the road, creating a hazard for other motorists. The engine may also stall without warning and may be unable to restart, which increases the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Dealers will replace the affected nylon fuel line with a steel fuel line at no charge. Owners can contact Daimler Trucks North America customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467, and should check their vehicle identification number for open recalls.
