Recall 06V-171: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain emergency vehicles equipped with cummins isl cm850 diesel engines, the connecting rods which transfer energy from the piston to the crankshaft are defective and can result in seizure of the piston pin. A piston pin seizure can result in a mission-disabling engine failure.
Risk: This condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (Engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers are working with cummins to replace the connecting rods free of charge. Owners may contact e-one at 352-237-1122 or cummins at 1-800-diesels.
