Component / system
Defect
Lodal, Inc. (Lodal) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Evo garbage trucks manufactured January 12, 2011, through December 31, 2013, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.
Risk / consequence
The improper operation of the sensor 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.
Remedy
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 1-800-343-7357.
