The defect
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2022 Freightliner XB Chassis and 2021-2022 Freightliner XC Chassis vehicles equipped with Cummins L9 Diesel Engines that have remote Stage 2 fuel filters and pressurized hoses. A fuel leak may occur from the fuel hose between the fuel pump and the remote fuel filter head.
The risk
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
The remedy
Cummins will replace the fuel hoses, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 3, 2021. Owners may contact DTNA's customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-897.

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.
