What's wrong?
The fuel hose on the 2022 Autocar Xpeditor is a pressurized diesel line with quick-connect fittings. It carries fuel between the fuel pump and the remote Stage 2 fuel filter head, where the fuel system routes diesel through the filter before the engine uses it.
On affected Xpeditor trucks, the fuel hose assembly was not designed or built well enough for that location. The pressurized hose can swell, contact a nearby clamp edge, and wear through until diesel leaks between the pump and the remote filter head. Cummins changed the hose design, and the replacement hoses have a unique part number and a visibly different appearance.
People operating or standing near the vehicle can see smoke before enough heat builds to create a fire. Smoke near the fuel filter area is the warning sign tied to this defect.

What's the safety risk?

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Autocar Xpeditor is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Autocar dealer to schedule the free fuel-hose replacement that addresses the diesel leak risk between the fuel pump and remote fuel filter head.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 21V565 when you call.
- Keep the vehicle away from open flames and ignition sources until the fuel-hose repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Autocar technician replaces the fuel hoses between the fuel pump and the remote fuel filter, including the hoses to and from the remote fuel filter. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the manufacturer's limited warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because fuel-hose failures before the recall notice would have been replaced under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
