What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Crane Carrier Company (Crane Carrier) is recalling certain model year 2008-2015 COE, LDT2, and LET2 trucks manufactured February 25, 2008, to May 20, 2015, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.

The risk

If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

The remedy

Cummins will notify owners on behalf of Crane Carrier, and dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow. In addition, the electronic control module (ECM) will be reprogrammed with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Owners may contact Crane Carrier customer service at 1-918-836-1651 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
