- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Freightliner Custom Chassis XCR and 2024 XBS, XCM chassis. The remote fuel filter hoses may become separated from the fittings, which can result in a fuel leak and a lack of fuel supply to the engine.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. Additionally, a lack of fuel can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Cummins will replace the fuel filter hoses, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 8, 2024. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is F1003.
- 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 56 vehicles this is a small campaign: 77% 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 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
FCCC vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 4 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V965000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 25V038000 (fuel system, diesel), 23V238000 (steering), 22V554000 (engine and engine cooling), 21V921000 (tires).
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 Daimler Trucks North America, LLC with NHTSA on June 6, 2024 as campaign 24V420000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
