What's wrong?
The affected 2021-2022 Sportsmobile Dodge Promaster and Ford Transit vans use a Cummins Onan QG 2800i or Onan QG 2800i EVAP generator set. Inside that generator fuel system, a gasoline hose carries fuel from the inline fuel filter to the Injection Pump Module, the part that meters fuel for the generator engine. That hose has to stay tight and routed correctly while the generator vibrates during use.
On affected vans, the hose between the filter and the Injection Pump Module is not secured well enough. Sportsmobile says the root cause was an inadequate fuel hose specification. When the hose loosens or shifts, gasoline can leak near the generator instead of staying inside the fuel line.
The warning sign is smoke that bystanders can see or smell near the generator area. Treat that as a fuel leak warning, stop using the generator, and keep ignition sources away until the van is inspected.
Who's affected?
Covers Dodge Promaster and Ford Transit conversions across the 2021 and 2022 model years, tied to the same gasoline fuel hose between the IPM and fuel filter.
