- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 18V581000
- Manufacturer's number: FL789
- Manufacturer: Daimler Trucks North America LLC

## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain 2017\-2019 Freightliner Cascadia, Coronado and 122SD, and Western Star 4900 trucks, equipped with Cummins ISX15 or X15 diesel engines.  In certain driving conditions, such as on a long down\-hill grade, the fuel line may burst if the fuel pump cooling circuit screen becomes restricted.


## What can happen

If the fuel line bursts, fuel may leak onto the road resulting in a roadway hazard for other motorists.  The engine may also stall without warning, resulting in the vehicle's inability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the affected nylon fuel line with a steel fuel line, free of charge.  The recall began November 21, 2018.  Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-547\-0712 or Cummins customer service at 1\-800\-286\-6467.  DTNA's number for this recall is FL789.


## Notes

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.safercar.gov.
