This is so true. The CP4 failures are low on the ecodiesel platform. Main bearings let go way more often. Good news for GDE customers, we turned off CCP mode in CP4 software logic as it seemed to be the big driver for pump failures on other applications. CCP is a method of controlling fuel pressure, but leads to frequency issues inside the pump leading to vibration and pulsations in the plunger bore. It was a bad idea Bosch sold to all CP4 customers.I find it interesting that NHTSA is more worried about the HPFP causing an unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash than the engine itself! I would put money on it that there are way more engine failures than CP4 pump failures!
@biodiesel:I've got an awesome designated EcoDiesel dealer tech, so I'm not worried about it. With that said, I understand your concerns. Many dealers don't have competent techs.
Farmington, New Mexico. Although, there's a designated EcoDiesel tech at one of the dealers in Albuquerque, too. Both techs know these engines like the back of their hand. When I go into the shop, they usually have 2 - 3 EcoDiesel vehicles on the lift at any given time. Interestingly, both techs like working on the engine and have mostly good things to say about the platform.@biodiesel:
Where is this dealership because none of those around me have a clue when it comes to EcoD's?
I looked at the Colorado diesel. EPA numbers are about the same as ours, or at least were in 2017 models. IIRC, that engine also uses a Bosch CP4.Seems as though Cummins more industrial applications are all low HP. The 2.8 duramax is 26% less displacement, I’d bet they could easily get it to numbers that would work. Also feeding 2 less cylinders I’d think economy would be better.
Possibly the version that is currently being used on the 3rd gen EcoDiesel? Just a guess.Replace with what?

Why would the 2014 - 2019 CP4 be recalled and not the 2020+ trucks? Tuning differences?Same part.
Yet another reason I love my GDE tune. Appreciate the info - didn't know that feature was part of the tune but I'm very glad it is. Two thumbs upThis is so true.

i checked my vin for recalls and it shows this recall for it but no parts availableI just received this email this morning. Probably for my old 2015 (2014-2019) but we'll see if it gets expanded. It' currently doesn't apply to my 2020 VIN.
Safety Issue Type: Recalls June 09 2022 NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000
High Pressure Fuel Pump Failure Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
yes. It was just issued so there will be no parts for awhile. Perhaps never.i checked my vin for recalls and it shows this recall for it but no parts available
Hi: MAS... Wonder if "They" could recall the price of fuel? I recall when I could afford to go somewhere!!!Wonder if this means that since it’s being recalled if anyone has a failure is it now covered by some form of recall? Makes keeping it a little easier knowing one of the largest cost failures is under some form or fashion of warranty.
