What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. (KME) is recalling one 2017 Predator Tanker truck equipped with a Cummins ISX 15L engine. The affected engine has a fuel pump whose drive gear may slip on its drive shaft, causing a fuel pump function loss, resulting in an engine stall.

The risk

An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Cummins will send a notice to the owner of the vehicle with the affected engine and a Cummins dealer will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. The recall began on August 7, 2017. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or KME customer service at 1-800-235-3926.

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.
