What is wrong
Crestline Coach Ltd. (Crestline) is recalling certain 2026 Ford CCL166 TYPE III emergency vehicles. A bolt may puncture the fuel line, causing a fuel leak.
The risk
A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.
Why fuel system defects matter: A fuel leak near an ignition source increases the risk of fire, and a failing fuel pump can stall the engine while driving.
The remedy
Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the remedy is completed. Dealers will inspect and replace the current bolt with a shorter bolt as necessary, free of charge. Any damaged fuel line components will also be replaced, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed in July 15, 2026. Crestline's number for this recall is 10408.
About the fuel system
The fuel system stores and delivers fuel to the engine; leaks and pump failures are the usual reasons for a recall.

Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
