What's wrong?
The fuel line in these 2019-2023 Ford Transit, Sprinter, and Ram recreational vehicles feeds gasoline to the onboard generator. In this recall, the affected hose sits between the inline fuel filter and the injection pump module, the pump assembly that sends fuel into the generator engine. That hose is supposed to stay clamped tight so fuel remains inside the system.
On affected Creative Mobile Interiors upfits, the fuel hose specification did not provide enough clamp force at that connection. The clamp can lose its hold on the hose, and gasoline can leak around the fitting instead of staying in the line. The replacement hose uses a different part number, but it looks the same to an owner.
The warning sign is visible or smelled gasoline near the generator area. If you see wet fuel or smell gasoline, treat it as a fuel leak and avoid running the generator until the recall repair is complete.
