What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect that poses a risk of injury from a falling or swinging engine, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Cummins, Inc. is recalling certain L9N Natural Gas Engines, part number D883007BX03. The recall addresses a defect where the rear lifting bracket that attaches to the engine cylinder head may be insufficiently secured. This condition can allow the bracket to detach.

If the rear lifting bracket detaches while the engine is being lifted, the engine may fall or swing, which increases the risk of injury to nearby individuals. The source text does not specify the number of affected units or report any specific injuries or fatalities.

Dealers will inspect and replace the flanged stud in the rear lifting bracket, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 9, 2023. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
