What's wrong?
The fuel filter on a 2015 Autocar Xpeditor truck screens diesel fuel before it reaches the engine. On trucks with the affected Cummins ISB or ISL engine setup, the Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filter, part number FF63009, is part of the fuel supply path that keeps debris out of the injection system.
The problem is in the filter assembly itself. The filter shell separates from the fuel filter nut plate, which means the filter no longer stays sealed and secured as designed. When that happens, the engine loses the steady fuel supply it needs to keep running. The result is an engine stall while the truck is in use.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall filing says the engine stalls without warning, so an owner does not get a dashboard light, sound, or drivability clue that reliably appears before the filter separates.

What's the safety risk?
An unexpected engine stall increases the risk of a crash because the vehicle loses power when the driver is not prepared. If the engine stalls or runs abnormally, pull over safely and contact an Autocar dealer before continuing regular use. Repair will be free at any franchised Autocar dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Autocar Xpeditor is included in this recall.
- Call Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499 to confirm the current repair timing before scheduling service.
- Ask Autocar which franchised Autocar dealer or authorized service location can complete the free fuel-filter replacement that fixes the filter-shell separation behind the stall risk.
- Reference recall number 15V027 and Autocar recall A-1410 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. If the engine stalls, steer to a safe stop and arrange service.
What happens at the repair
Once the dealer repair is available, an Autocar technician will replace the fuel filter with a nondefective filter, free under the recall. The work addresses the Cummins engine fuel filter shell separation described in campaign 15V027. Because this remedy is listed as under development, do not treat the final repair as schedulable until Autocar confirms it is open. Autocar's standard reimbursement plan handles documented out of pocket repairs paid before the recall notice. Contact Autocar customer service with prior repair paperwork.
