Cummins Westport recall: Engine and engine cooling
What is wrong
Cummins Inc. and Cummins Westport Inc. are recalling certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines manufactured September 12, 2007, through February 2, 2014, and Cummins Westport Model ISX12 G engines manufactured February 19, 2013, through February 2, 2014. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.
What could happen
The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
The fix
Cummins Inc. and Cummins Westport Inc. will notify owners, and dealers will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge. Cummins Inc. and Cummins Westport Inc. began notifying the affected vehicle manufacturers on February 14, 2014. The recall began on April 12, 2014. For more information owners may call 1-800-343-7357. Cummins' number for this recall is C1462 (for ISL G engines) or C1461 (for ISX12 G) engines.
