Plain-English summary
Lodal, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Evo garbage trucks manufactured between January 12, 2011, and December 31, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines. The recall involves 34 affected units.
The defect occurs when condensation in the intake manifold freezes during cold weather conditions. This freezing can interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor. Improper sensor operation may induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, which 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 in April 2014. Owners may contact Lodal at 1-800-435-3500 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov.
