2023–2024 Freightliner XCR & 2024 Freightliner XBS + 1 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The risk
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.

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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
