What's wrong?
The diesel fuel filter on the 2013 Crane LDT2 and LET2 is part of the fuel system for the Cummins ISB or ISL engine. Its job is to remove contamination from the diesel fuel before fuel reaches the engine. The filter shell and nut plate also have to stay locked together so fuel can keep flowing under normal vibration and pressure.
In this recall, the Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filter, part number FF63009, can separate at the joint between the filter shell and the fuel filter nut plate. When that joint comes apart, the engine loses the steady fuel supply it needs to keep running. The result is an engine stall while the vehicle is in use.
There is no warning sign before failure. An affected vehicle can stall without warning, so the first sign for the driver is loss of engine power.
Who's affected?
Covers both LDT2 and LET2 trucks from the 2013 model year, tied to the same fuel system component.

What's the safety risk?
An unexpected engine stall can cut power while the vehicle is moving, increasing the risk of a crash. With no warning sign listed, treat any stall or rough running as a reason to pull over safely and contact the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Crane dealer once available.

- Ask Crane where to schedule the free Cummins fuel-filter replacement that fixes the filter-shell separation and engine-stall risk.
- Bring the Crane or Cummins recall notice if you have it, and give the service center Cummins recall number C1545.
- Drive cautiously until the fuel filter is replaced. Pull over safely if the engine stalls.
