Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

The defect: Eldorado National-Kansas (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Krystal K40 vehicles manufactured April 25, 2014, to June 29, 2014. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009. The filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning.
The risk: If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.
The remedy: Cummins will notify owners and dealers will replace the fuel filter, free of charge. The recall began on August 20, 2014. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583. Cummins' number for this recall is C1545. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-913-392-2171.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
