What's wrong?

The fuel tubes on affected 2019-2022 Xcp, 4700, 114SD, 49X, 47X, Cascadia, WF110, and WJ121 vehicles carry diesel fuel from the fuel rail to the engine injectors. The fuel rail holds fuel under high pressure, and the tubes route that fuel to the injectors for each cylinder. The system depends on those metal tubes staying sealed while the engine vibrates and works under load.

In this recall, the tubes feeding cylinders 4, 5, and 6 can fatigue and crack. A crack in one of those tubes lets high-pressure diesel fuel escape near the engine instead of reaching the injector. Cummins traced the issue to engines with a certain injector fuel supply tube before corrective action was added.

There is no warning sign before failure. A fuel leak, fuel smell, visible fuel around the engine, or smoke needs dealer attention before the vehicle is driven again.

Who's affected?

Spans 8 truck models across the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 model years, all tied to the same fuel-tube defect.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, an Fccc technician replaces the fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six, then installs vibration isolators to reduce vibration at those tubes. The recall repair is available now, and parts and labor are covered. For owners who already paid for this same fuel tube repair, Cummins has a recall-specific reimbursement plan for units outside the manufacturer's limited warranty. Use the recall portal process and submit the repair documentation it requests.
