Plain-English summary

Capacity of Texas is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 terminal tractor trucks equipped with specific Cummins Westport Model ISL G and ISX12 G engines. The recall involves 50 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 dealers will upload a new ECM calibration free of charge. The recall began in November 2014.
