The defect
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2015 Ford F-650 SD trucks manufactured May 12, 2014, to July 22, 2014 and Ford F-750 SD trucks manufactured May 12, 2014, to August 4, 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 the owners of the affected Ford vehicles, and Cummins service centers will replace the fuel filter with a non-defective one, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 14V01. Owners may also contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583.
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.
