What's wrong?
The injector fuel supply tubes on 2019-2021 Crane Carrier LET2 vehicles carry diesel fuel from the fuel rail to the injectors for cylinders 4, 5, and 6. The fuel rail is part of the high-pressure common-rail system, which stores fuel under pressure so each injector can deliver the right amount to the engine.
On included vehicles, those fuel tubes are vulnerable to cracking. Cummins traced the failure to metal fatigue from vibration strain, assembly strain, and material strength. Once a tube cracks, pressurized diesel fuel can leak from the tube instead of reaching the injector. The replacement tubes add vibration isolators to reduce that strain.
A fuel leak can show up during maintenance. An operator can smell fuel or see a fuel mist near the engine area before the tube fully fails.
Who's affected?
Covers 2019, 2020, and 2021 LET2 trucks, all involving the injector fuel supply tube in the diesel fuel rail.

What's the safety risk?
A high-pressure fuel leak near an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. A fuel smell, visible mist, or leak found during maintenance is a warning sign. If you notice fuel, stop using the vehicle and call the dealer for guidance. Repair will be free at any franchised Crane Carrier dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2021 Crane Carrier LET2 is included in this recall.
- Confirm repair timing with Crane Carrier customer service before scheduling the fuel-tube repair.
- Ask about the free fuel-tube replacement and vibration-isolator installation that addresses the cracking tubes and high-pressure fuel leak risk.
- Reference recall number 21V996 and Crane Carrier recall C2532 when you call.
- Bring the owner letter if you received one, and keep fuel leak or fuel odor concerns off the road until a dealer gives repair instructions.
What happens at the repair
Once the final repair opens, a Crane Carrier technician will replace the fuel tubes for cylinders 4, 5, and 6, then install vibration isolators to reduce cracking risk. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. The dealer repair will be free once available. Crane Carrier's reimbursement plan covers units not protected by the manufacturer's limited warranty. If you already paid for a related fuel-tube repair, keep invoices and repair paperwork for the recall-specific reimbursement process.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 21V996?
Recall 21V996 covers 25 2019-2021 Crane Carrier LET2 vehicles with fuel tubes that can crack between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six. A high-pressure fuel leak near an ignition source can increase fire risk.
What should I do if my 2019-2021 Crane Carrier LET2 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 21V996. If it is, contact a franchised Crane Carrier dealer or Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 and reference Crane Carrier recall C2532. Ask whether the fuel-tube repair is open for your VIN.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the recall remedy says Cummins will replace the fuel tubes and install vibration isolators free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is fire. The recalled fuel tubes can crack and release high-pressure fuel. If that fuel reaches an ignition source, the leak can increase the risk of a fire.
What if I bought my Crane Carrier LET2 used?
The free recall repair still applies. A used vehicle does not lose recall coverage because ownership changed. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific LET2 is included, then give recall 21V996 and Crane Carrier recall C2532 when you call for service.
