Kalmar recall: Fuel system, diesel
What is wrong
Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain model year 2014 Ottawa terminal tractors manufactured June 2, 2014, to July 31, 2014. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, whose filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning.
What could happen
If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
Kalmar will notify owners, and Cummins service centers will replace the fuel filter with a non-defective one, free of charge. Kalmar issued an interim notification to owners on November 10, 2014. The recall is expected to begin in November 2014. Owners may contact Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6327. Kalmar's number for this recall is C1545. Owners may also contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583.
