What's wrong?
The affected 2020-2023 Maxvan Pathway and Route vehicles have a Cummins Onan generator set that uses a small fuel hose in its gasoline delivery system. That hose runs between the inline fuel filter and the Injection Pump Module, the part that feeds fuel into the generator engine. The clamp is supposed to hold the hose tightly on the fitting so gasoline stays inside the line.
On these vehicles, the clamp on that hose does not apply enough force. During generator operation, vibration and fuel pressure can let gasoline leak at the connection between the hose and the injection pump module. The replacement hose uses a different part number, A073T925, to separate it from the recalled part.
The warning sign is visible gasoline or a gasoline smell near the vehicle or generator area. Someone standing near the vehicle can see or smell gasoline before the leak is found.
