✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain Freightliner vehicles, including the FCCC XBS, equipped with Cummins L9 diesel engines because remote fuel filter hoses may separate from their fittings. This separation can cause a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk of a fire, as well as an engine stall that increases the risk of a crash. Owners will receive notification letters starting November 20, 2026. Read more at govinfonow.com/recall/1499405-fccc-xbs-2025-recall-fuel-system-diesel.
