Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 International TranStar trucks manufactured in March 2013. These vehicles are equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G compressed natural gas engines (feature code 12CBA).

The recall addresses a defect where condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions. This freezing 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, 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 during April 2014. Owners may contact Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357 or Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-5000.
