Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with a Cummins B6.7 diesel engine, the electric fuel heater could overheat and melt. Safety Risk: A fuel heater that overheats could create the risk of a fire. This could also cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Cummins will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Cummins service location to install a new fuel heater and correct the wiring to the fuel heater. Additionally, the fuel heater fuse will be changed to a 30-amp fuse, and the fuse size information in the owner’s manual and vehicle-mounted fuse map will be updated.
