What's wrong?
The fuel pump on the Cummins ISX 15L engine feeds diesel to the engine at the pressure and volume needed to keep combustion steady. On 2017-2018 Peterbilt 367, 567, 579, 587, 389, T680, T880, T800, C500, and W900 trucks, that pump depends on a drive gear fixed to a drive shaft. The shaft turns the gear, and the gear keeps the pump working as the engine runs.
In the affected engines, the drive gear was assembled improperly onto the drive shaft. That bad fit lets the gear slip instead of turning the pump as designed. Once the fuel pump loses function, the engine loses fuel delivery and stalls.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver is not given a dashboard alert or drivability symptom that reliably appears before the fuel pump stops working.
Who's affected?
Covers the 367, 567, 579, 587, 389, T680, T880, T800, C500, and W900 across the 2017 and 2018 model years, all tied to the fuel system.

What should I do?

- Wait for the owner notice if you have not received it, then contact a franchised Peterbilt dealer or Cummins dealer about the free fuel-pump replacement.
- Reference recall number 17V443 when you call so the service desk can match the truck to the correct campaign.
- Ask whether the fuel-pump drive gear failure that can stall the engine is covered by the fuel-pump replacement before you bring the truck in.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and pull over safely if the engine loses power or stalls.
What happens at the repair
The filing describes the repair as replacement of the fuel pumps on the Cummins engine. Because the remedy status is not listed as available here, confirm scheduling with the dealer before planning the visit. Once the repair is available, a Peterbilt technician will replace the fuel pumps, and parts and labor will be free under the recall. The reimbursement file lists a general reimbursement plan, so documented fuel pump repairs paid before the recall notice are handled through the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan. Bring repair paperwork and payment records to the service desk.
