PACCAR INCORPORATED recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Jul 5, 2007, covering about 618 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks built with cummins ism c876 engines, the electronic control module fails to recognize inputs of the vehicle electronic control unit or from a driver actuated dash switch thereby increasing the risk of unintended (Or unexpected) elevated exhaust temperatures.
The risk
While this condition does not involve a risk of fire in the vehicle itself, it could present a fire hazard in a situation where the vehicle's exhaust is in close proximity to materials or substances that can melt, burn, or explode.
