Is my product affected?

2015 THOMAS BUILT BUSES SAF-T-LINER HDX

  • Brand THOMAS BUILT BUSES

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Daimler Trucks North America LLC is recalling certain 2015 Thomas Built Buses Saf-t-liner school buses manufactured between May 2, 2014, and July 31, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with Cummins ISB or ISL engines that may have defective Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009). In these filters, the filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate, causing the engine to stall without warning and increasing the risk of a crash.

Cummins has notified owners on behalf of DTNA, and dealers will replace the defective fuel filter with a non-defective one at no cost. The recall began in late September 2014. Affected consumers should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583, and may reference DTNA recall number FL-664.
