Summary:
      Crane Carrier Company "Crane" is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 LET2, COE, LDT2, and LE2 refuse vehicles manufactured April 16, 2008, through February 28, 2014, 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.
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 manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Customers may contact contact Crane at 1-918-832-7305 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357.
