Plain-English summary
Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 ACX, WX, and WXLL vehicles manufactured between July 30, 2007, and February 10, 2014. This recall affects 4,192 vehicles equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G or ISX12 G engines. The defect involves condensation in the intake manifold that may freeze during cold weather conditions, which can interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.
The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe. This condition increases 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 A-1402.
