FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
- The defect
- Temsa is recalling certain 2018-2021 TS35 and 2018-2020 TS45 vehicles. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high pressure fuel rail assembly to leak.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Cummins will inspect the rail threads and fuel lines, and replace the rail as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 30, 2021. Owners may contact Temsa customer service at 1-800-625-9319.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 276 vehicles this is a small campaign: 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Temsa vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel once before this, most recently in May 2013 as 13V185000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V106000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V454000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Temsa with NHTSA on May 27, 2021 as campaign 21V399000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
