What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Autocar Industries, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain model year 2015 Xspotter heavy duty trucks manufactured May 23, 2014, to June 13, 2014. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, whose 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 for Autocar, and Cummins service centers will replace the fuel filter, free of charge. The recall began in August 2014. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583. Autocar's number for this recall is T-1409.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
