International LT Recall 18V588: Fuel Line May Burst or Engine May Stall Without Warning

NHTSA campaign 18V588, reported September 5, 2018, 26,288 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

A restricted fuel pump cooling screen can cause the fuel line to burst, particularly during long downhill driving. A burst line can leak fuel onto the road, creating a hazard for other drivers. The engine may also stall without warning and may not restart, which raises the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the nylon fuel line with a steel fuel line at no cost to you. Cummins will notify affected owners. If you have questions, contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467. You can also check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
