I am not sure how many vehicles are affected in each of those models/years.

Just had extensive inspection of engine looking for coolant leak, if fuel rail was leaking they would have found that it seems.

I received this notice yesterday from NHTSA. I suspect it involves all the ISL motors in the years indicated.

What is a recall?
When a manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determines that a vehicle creates an unreasonable risk to safety or fails to meet minimum safety standards, the manufacturer is required to fix that vehicle at no cost to the owner. That can be done by repairing it, replacing it, offering a refund (for equipment) or, in rare cases, repurchasing the car.
What should I do if my vehicle is included in this recall?
If your vehicle is included in this recall, it is very important that you get it fixed as soon as possible given the potential danger to you and your passengers if it is not addressed. You should receive a separate letter in the mail from the vehicle manufacturer, notifying you of the recall and explaining when the remedy will be available, whom to contact to repair your vehicle, and to remind you that the repair will be done at no charge to you. If you believe your vehicle is included in the recall, but you do not receive a letter in the mail from the vehicle manufacturer, please call NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236, or contact your vehicle manufacturer or dealership.

Thank you for your attention to this important safety matter and for your commitment to helping save lives on America's roadways.

Not all. Appears to be spartan only. My vin is not included and neither are 2 other FL vins in model year covered.

All 3 spartan vins I tried where covered.

Another indicator is only 2019+ Ventana covered. 2019 is when spartan was first available for Ventana

I keep putting our VIN into the system and keep getting an errors message saying the “VIN cannot be processed at this a time.” I have double-checked the number for accuracy. Any ideas why I can’t access the recall database with my VIN?

Yep! And, I get this; “The VIN you entered cannot be processed at this time. If the VIN was entered correctly, please contact your vehicle manufacturer for more information.”

How do you do “private or incognito mode?” I don’t see anything on that page that leads me there.

It's in your browser. Under tools, you can choose a new private or incognito tab, then try the site.

I just verified my vin worked...I will PM you my vin so you can see if it's browser or vin related

Looks as this recall now covers Freightliner chassis also. It has also been issued in Cummins recall #21E-032

I received my notice this morning. It covers freightliner, but freightliner does not have a solution at this time.

Since it's a Cummins issue concerning the fuel rail assembly, freightliner might not be the best place to have work completed. I believe only certain engines classes, not all models although listed are included. Check NHTSA Admins site with your vin to see if your model/chassis is affected. I will wait for my letter. Chattanooga Cummins is a great place to go to have work done.

I'm in private mode and still get "The VIN you entered cannot be processed at this time...."

You bring up a good point. What I don't know is how the warranty works between Cummins & Spartan/Freightliner. I have had no trouble getting Cummins to diagnose and look at engine problems in the past, and they have even diagnosed and worked on Chassis issues related to the codes being sent. Worth a shot!

Now, now let's not make it about Spartan vs. FL....it's a Cummins thing. ? At the other place, Dutch Star Don mentions he received a recall notice on his 2019 DS on a FL...

Yes--I got my recall today---see my post #10 above

I do find it odd that Freightliner came out so late after Spartan. If this is truly just a cummins issue, then the only excuse is FL is just so big, they can't make changes quickly and cannot be bothered to send updates out quickly.

FL has done terrible with recalls in the last 2 years. Covid Supply chains really have affected them. Spartan too has been affected, but they only have DEF and Fuel Rail recalls to worry about. FL has 4 open recalls without resolution at this point.

Redbaron, I think, but do not hold me to this. Engine has 3 years, Transmission either 3-5 years. Genset two years if I remember correctly. Had coolant leak on ME, freightliner could not find it when I took it there. Cummins could not either, but tightened hose connections, and it went away. Go figure. People herein have commented Freightliner does not as a routine item, check for software updates to the chassis or engine, you have to request it, hmmm. Believe Cummins check SW as routine, and they check for codes as well. Ok, to this day, still struggle with updating the time, etc. on the odometer LCD display. Normally would clear trip meter, again, don't use it enough to remember to do it so do math on mileage traveled. Suppose if I did it 10 times in a row I would not forget. Never seem to take time. Going to check vin and see what we will see. Believe it's for the ILS and higher HP engines. According to VIN, no recalls present which I have to worry about. But we are dealing with the government, so will wait until I have a letter or something.

Oops, sorry. ?

 

[redbaron]

Cummins & Allison both have 5 year as of 2019. Not sure about prior.

Hah. Didn’t see Bill’s post above yours either. ?
