DEFECT #1 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL


Posted on: 2006-05-18
Description
On certain fire trucks 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.

Consequence
This condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers are working with cummins to replace the connecting rods free of charge.  Owners may contact hme at 616-534-1463 or cummins at 1-800-diesels.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
