What's wrong?
The fuel filter on a 2014 Ferrara Fire Custom truck cleans diesel fuel before it reaches the Cummins ISB or ISL engine. Its job is to keep debris out of the fuel system so the engine receives a steady supply of clean fuel. The filter has to stay sealed and firmly attached while the engine is running.
On affected trucks, the engine was equipped with a Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filter, part number FF63009. The filter shell can separate from the fuel filter nut plate, the metal mounting point that holds the filter assembly together. When that separation happens, fuel delivery is interrupted and the engine stalls.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign can be the engine shutting off while the truck is in use, with no earlier symptom for the operator to catch.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Ferrara Fire Custom is included in this recall.
- Call Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006 before scheduling service, since Ferrara reported the affected trucks were repaired and no owner notice was issued.
- Ask Ferrara to confirm the Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel-filter repair that prevents the filter shell from separating and stalling the engine.

- Stop operating the truck and arrange service if the engine stalls or the fuel-filter problem returns.
What happens at the repair
Ferrara says all affected vehicles were repaired before owner notices were sent, so no separate recall notification is planned for campaign 14V801. For an included 2014 Fire Custom truck, the repair concerns the Cummins engine fuel filter. A Ferrara technician confirms the Fleetguard UFF-XT filter issue has been corrected so the filter shell cannot separate from the nut plate and stall the engine without warning. If a dealer finds the recall work missing on an included vehicle, parts and labor are covered under the recall.
