"The recall affects the Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, According to Cummins, the bond that attaches the filter shell to the filter nut plate may fail. If this occurs, the shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate, causing the engine to stall without warning and without the ability to restart the engine until the fuel filter is replaced."

Great. I just dropped off my Ram Diesel at the dealer, and told them to change the fuel filter while it was in for other work. I hope Dodge dealers don't use after market filters.
