Service bulletin CMI-L3Z6A-02
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
This is a safety recall notice of a Cummins Filtration and A.L. solutions defect in Fleetguard Diesel Fuel Filters. It has been determined that the FF5418 filter may have undersized threads on the filter lid. This condition may result in inadequate sealing of the filter lid to the filter housing, possibly resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of a heat source may result in excessive smoke or a fire. This is an update to a previously submitted communication, CMI-K5C5D-12. This is associated with NHTSA Recall 17E-077.
