What's wrong?
The affected part is the gasoline fuel hose on the Onan QG 2800i EVAP generator installed in 2020-2023 Ford Transit vans. This hose carries fuel from the inline fuel filter to the Injection Pump Module, or IPM, which meters fuel into the generator so it can run. The hose has to stay tight and sealed while fuel moves through the system.
On affected generators, the fuel hose between the filter and the IPM was not secured correctly because the hose specification was inadequate. That loose or poorly fitted connection lets gasoline escape instead of staying inside the fuel line. The remedy uses a different fuel hose with part number A073T925.
The warning sign is visible or smelled gasoline near the generator. If you or someone nearby sees gasoline or smells fuel, treat that as a sign that the hose connection has started leaking.
Who's affected?
Covers Transit vans from the 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 model years, all with the same gasoline fuel hose between the IPM and fuel filter.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific van is included.
What's the safety risk?
A gasoline leak near an ignition source increases the risk of fire. Bystanders can see or smell gasoline, so treat fuel odor or visible fuel as a stop signal: park safely, shut the Transit off, and call the dealer before driving again. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2023 Ford Transit is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free generator fuel-hose and clamp inspection that checks for a loose hose and gas leak.
- Ask the dealer to inspect the fuel hose between the inline fuel filter and Injection Pump Module, then replace the hose and clamps if the repair is needed.
- Bring the recall notice if Ford mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V499 when you call.
- Avoid using the Onan QG 2800i EVAP generator until the hose is inspected and repaired, since gasoline near an ignition source increases fire risk.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician inspects the fuel hose between the inline fuel filter and the Injection Pump Module, then replaces the hose and clamps as needed. The recall covers parts and labor. For out-of-pocket repairs on vans outside the manufacturer's limited warranty, the source says a reimbursement plan will be provided through the Recall Portal. Contact Quality Vans customer service with repair documentation if you already paid for this fuel hose repair.
