Nearly 11,000 Cummins X12 engines are part of a recall due to issues with the fuel injection system.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.
On Cummins X12 engines with 75 miles or less, dealers will install vibration isolators to the fuel tubes for free. Engines with more than 75 miles will receive new fuel tubes with vibration isolators. Cummins does not yet have a schedule for the recall.
