Cummins Recalls ISV5.0 Diesel Engines Due to Air Compressor Belt Slip

Cummins is recalling ISV5.0 diesel engines because a slipping air compressor belt can reduce braking performance, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (braking performance inhibition) that increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Cummins Inc. is recalling certain Cummins ISV5.0 light-duty diesel engines equipped with CP80009 and C80007 air compressors. The recall addresses a defect where the air compressor belt may slip, which reduces air compressor output and can inhibit braking performance.

If the air compressor belt slips and reduces compressor output, the vehicle's braking ability may be inhibited, which can increase the risk of a crash. The source text does not specify the number of affected units or report any injuries or fatalities.

Dealers will replace the existing high-mount refrigerant compressor configuration with a new low-mount refrigerant compressor configuration free of charge. The recall began on February 1, 2019. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
