Defect Description

Lodal, Inc. (Lodal) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Evo garbage trucks manufactured January 12, 2011, through December 31, 2013, 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.

Safety 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 recall began in April 2014. Owners may contact Lodal at 1-800-435-3500 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357.
