March 1, 2022 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 22E015000
High Pressure Fuel Rail Assembly May Leak Fuel
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 22E015
Manufacturer Marion Body Works Inc.
Components FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
Potential Number of Units Affected 3
Summary
Marion Body Works Inc. (Marion) is recalling certain 2021 Freightliner
M2, 2020 Kenworth T3, and 2018 International SR525 emergency vehicles equipped with certain Cummins diesel engines. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high-pressure fuel rail assembly to leak.
Remedy
Cummins service centers will inspect the rail threads and fuel lines, and replace the rail as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 7, 2022. Owners may contact Marion’s customer service at 1-715-754-5261. Marion’s number for this recall is 20E-032.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
Chronology :
February 10, 2021 – A field service technician reported to Cummins that eight buses belonging to a single customer had been repaired since December 2020 for leaks at sealing washers in the fuel rail.
February 11- March 1, 2021 – Cummins investigated the cause of the leaks with the supplier of the rail and began an investigation of field warranty claims. Cummins conducted an initial Product Safety Hazard Analysis.
March 3 – April 12, 2021 – Cummins escalated the issue through its Product Safety Defect Board process, gathered additional data and revised the Product Safety Hazard Analysis. Cummins issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB210055) on March 4, 2021 to allow the field to replace rails that have washer leaks with a different rail and their associated fuel lines. (TSB210055 was submitted to NHTSA on April 7, 2021 in accordance with 49 CFR Part 579.5.)
April 13, 2021 – Based upon the results of the investigation, Cummins’ Product Defect Safety Board decided to conduct a safety campaign on engines installed in buses, school buses, emergency vehicle and recreational vehicle applications.

Description of the Safety Risk : A leak involving spraying/misting fuel in the presence of an ignition source
may increase the risk of fire.
Description of the Cause : The rail end sealing bores in the fuel rail may have undersized pilot bores for
the sealing washer, thus preventing the washer from properly seating,
potentially resulting in inadequate load for the joint to remain properly sealed

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Contact the nearest Cummins Distributor or authorized Warranty Dealer
to arrange to have this campaign performed on your engine. The
distributor or dealer will work with you to schedule the best date to
complete this repair.
A recall-specific reimbursement plan will be provided in the Recall Portal
for those units not covered by the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
The rail threads will be inspected for damage. If damage is found on the
threads, the rail will be replaced with a rail of a different design. The fuel
lines will also be replaced with lines of a different design if the rail is
replaced. If no damage is found on the threads, new crush washers will be
installed.
How Remedy Component Differs
from Recalled Component :
For units having no thread damage, the technician will be instructed to
place a paint dot somewhere on the rail to indicate that the repair has
been completed. For units that do have thread damage, the replacement
rail and fuel lines will have unique part numbers. The replacement rail and
lines are also visibly different.
Identify How/When Recall Condition
was Corrected in Production :
The rail manufacturing statistical process control for the pilot bores was
confirmed in control after October 19, 2020.
Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : Cummins expects to notify affected OEMs no later than April 30, 2021.
Cummins will conduct the recall and notify owners. The timing of owner
notification will be determined in consultation with the affected OEMs
Cummins expects to begin sending interim notification letters on June 19,
2021 to owners for which Cummins has received owner addresses. When

Chronology :
February 10, 2021 – A field service technician reported to Cummins that eight buses belonging to a single
customer had been repaired since December 2020 for leaks at sealing washers in the fuel rail.
February 11- March 1, 2021 – Cummins investigated the cause of the leaks with the supplier of the rail and
began an investigation of field warranty claims. Cummins conducted an initial Product Safety Hazard Analysis.
March 3 – April 12, 2021 – Cummins escalated the issue through its Product Safety Defect Board process,
gathered additional data and revised the Product Safety Hazard Analysis. Cummins issued a Technical Service
Bulletin (TSB210055) on March 4, 2021 to allow the field to replace rails that have washer leaks with a
different rail and their associated fuel lines. (TSB210055 was submitted to NHTSA on April 7, 2021 in
accordance with 49 CFR Part 579.5.)
April 13, 2021 – Based upon the results of the investigation, Cummins’ Product Defect Safety Board decided to

conduct a safety campaign on engines installed in buses, school buses, emergency vehicle and recreational
vehicle applications.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : A recall-specific reimbursement plan will be provided in the Recall Portal
for those units not covered by the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
The rail threads will be inspected for damage. If damage is found on the
threads, the rail will be replaced with a rail of a different design. The fuel
lines will also be replaced with lines of a different design if the rail is
replaced. If no damage is found on the threads, new crush washers will be
installed.
How Remedy Component Differs
from Recalled Component :
For units having no thread damage, the technician will be instructed to
place a paint dot somewhere on the rail to indicate that the repair has
been completed. For units that do have thread damage, the replacement
rail and fuel lines will have unique part numbers. The replacement rail and
lines are also visibly different.
Identify How/When Recall Condition
was Corrected in Production :
The rail manufacturing statistical process control for the pilot bores was
confirmed in control after October 19, 2020.
Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : Cummins expects to notify affected OEMs no later than April 30, 2021.
Cummins will conduct the recall and notify owners. The timing of owner
notification will be determined in consultation with the affected OEMs
Cummins expects to begin sending interim notification letters on June 19,
2021 to owners for which Cummins has received owner addresses. When
Cummins is ready to implement the remedy campaign, Cummins will
notify all owners for which it has received owner information. Owners
who previously received an interim letter notification will receive a
second notification. Cummins anticipates mailing owner letters
communicating the availability of the remedy during July 2021.
