Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (engine component) that explicitly increases the risk of vehicle fire and burn injury, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Autocar Industries, LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Xpert trucks manufactured between November 7, 2013, and January 13, 2014. These vehicles are equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G or ISX12 G engines. The recall involves 7 affected vehicles.
The defect involves condensation in the intake manifold that may freeze during cold weather conditions. This freezing can interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor. Improper sensor operation could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
Cummins Inc. and Cummins Wesport Inc. will notify owners, and authorized Cummins service facilities will upload a new ECM calibration free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2014. Owners may contact Autocar at 1-765-489-5499 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357. Autocar's number for this recall is M-1404.
