Consumer Description

I was driving home this weekend in my motorhome and noticed smoke coming out of rear of vehicle. I thought we were on fire. Fortunately I was able to get off the road and no injuries occurred. However, there will be many injuries if this problem is not recalled. The vehicle has a Cummins ISL Diesel motor. Vehicle has 33K miles. The #1 fuel injector line fails. If you look online this has happened many of times. Cummins also has a TSB for failure. Also, the "revised" part comes with a new bracket to prevent future failure. So Cummins is aware of problem. The fuel is spraying all over the engine compartment and straight on the exhaust. This is dangerous and people will die, or at the very least cause extensive damage. I tried to reach out to Cummins and received no response. Thanks for your time.
