The problem

Capacity of Texas (Capacity) is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 terminal tractors trucks equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G and ISX12 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.

The risk

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.

Cummins Inc. and Cummins Wesport Inc. will notify owners, and dealers will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge. The recall began during November 2014. Owners may contact Capacity customer service at 1-800-323-0135. Owners may also contact Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357.
