You'd better hop he does use an after market filter. Apparently theu are not affected.

From what I can tell this filter is not used in Dodge Ram LDT's.

"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."
