    Fuel System, Gasoline / Fuel Injection System

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain fire trucks and transit buses, the fuel lift pump could fail in a manner which results in engine fuel starvation, which could result in a stall condition. Potential lift pump failure modes include: brush wear out, bushing failure, rotor tab insert failure, or any other failure mode that would cause the fuel pumping element to stop spinning.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the fuel lift pump pumping element stops spinning and the fuel pumping vanes stop in a location which blocks fuel flow through the lift pump, the engine will be starved of fuel. Fuel starvation could cause low engine power, engine misfire, or engine stall. Prior to the engine stalling, the operator could experience low engine power, engine misfire, and/or dash-mounted fault lamp illumination.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Cummins is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or hme incorporated at 616-534-1463.

    Suspension / Front / Wheel Bearing

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: fire trucks equipped with 16,000 lb., 18,000 lb., or 20,000 lb. Heavy duty steering axles. The inner wheel bearing cone for the steering axle wheel hub assembly does not properly fit onto the steering axle spindle assembly. Improper fit of the bearing to the spindle increases the stress levels to the steering axle spindle which could cause spindle failure.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the spindle fails, a loss of driver control could occur, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will remove the left and right hub/drum assemblies from the steering axles and replace the inner wheel bearing cones and cups.
