FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Xpeditor and 2020-2022 Legend vehicles. The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.
- What it can cause
- A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Cummins will replace the fuel tubes, and install vibration isolators, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed January 28, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 11, 2022. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-976-3486. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-2108 DC-2105.
- 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|

How this campaign compares
At 1,001 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 2 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V565000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 43 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V449000 (service brakes, air), 25V208000 (electrical system), 25V036000 (suspension), 24V645000 (engine and engine cooling).
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 Autocar, LLC with NHTSA on December 9, 2021 as campaign 21V956000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
