THE ISB 4 CYLINDER CRANKSHAFT VIBRATION DAMPERS INSTALLED FOR USE ON CHASSIS MANUFACTURED BY WORKHORSE AND FREIGHTLINER CUSTOM CHASSIS. THE AFFECTED ENGINES WERE BUILT FROM OCTOBER 2000 THROUGH JULY 2001, AND HAVE AN ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER WITHIN THE RANGE OF 21436401 TO 21478129. THE CRANKSHAFT VIBRATION DAMPERS WERE DESIGNED INCORRECTLY AND CAN LEAD TO CRACKS DEVELOPING IN THE HUB, CAUSING THE PART TO BECOME LOOSE AND POSSIBLY DETACH ITSELF FROM THE ENGINE.
AS A RESULT, PERSONS NEARBY COULD BE INJURED BY FLYING DEBRIS.
CUMMINS WILL NOTIFY ITS CUSTOMERS AND THE CRANKSHAFT VIBRATION DAMPER WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW DESIGN FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 20, 2003.
