Plain-English summary
Cummins Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Cummins Power Generation generator sets. The affected models are C60D6R, C150D2RE, C100D6R, C200D6R, C200D2RE, C275D2RE, and C300D6R, which were manufactured between December 18, 2015, and October 3, 2016. A total of 164 units are affected by this recall.
The defect involves the door hinges on generator sets that have been mounted on trailers. There is a possibility that these hinges may fail, causing the generator set doors to detach while the trailer is being moved. If a door detaches, it can become a road hazard, which increases the risk of a crash.
Cummins will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hinges free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2016. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
