*** IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL***
NHTSA Recall No. 20E-018
CumminseBay Campaign #C2302 Final Notice

 

May 28, 2021

 

Dear CumminseBay Customer:

This notice is sent to youยทin accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

CumminseBay Inc. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 86.7 diesel engines that were manufactured between December 16, 2015 and March 24, 2020 and equipped with fuel module option FS90301 or FS90453.

This notice applies to your engine(s) listed on the enclosed Engine/Vehicle list.

If your engine was manufactured between December 16, 2015 and February 25, 2019, you received a similar notice regarding NHTSA Recall No. 19E-020 (CumminseBay Safety Campaign #C2127) pertaining to your engine(s). This recall notice supersedes the prior recall notice; you must have the remedy described in this recall performed on your engine, even if your engine was remedied under the prior recall.

If your engine was manufactured between February 26, 2019 and November 5, 2019, your engine may have had repairs done according to CumminseBay Campaign #C2128 or ATC2278. This recall notice supersedes actions under those field actions; you must have the remedy described in this recall performed on your engine, even if your engine was remedied under those actions.

If your engine was manufactured between November 6, 2019 and March 24, 2020, this is a new action.

 

WHY IS A RECALL BEING CONDUCTED? 

Fuel module options FS90301 and FS90453 contain an electric fuel heater. Internal electrical heating within the fuel heater may create sufficient heat inside the fuel heater to cause plastic in the fuel heater to melt and potentially catch fire. It may also cause an engine stall. A fire, if undetected and uncontained, presents an increased risk of personal injury. An unexpected engine stall may increase the risk of a crash.  If this condition exists, melting of the fuel heater or fuel seepage from around the fuel heater may be visible during a service event, smoke may precede or accompany a fire, or the engine may become increasingly difficult to start.

 

WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THE PROBLEM? 

CumminseBay has released field Safety Campaign #C2302 “B6.7 Engine-Mounted Fuel Heater Safety Campaign” to correct this condition. This campaign is currently available at CumminseBay Distributors and CumminseBay-authorized Warranty Dealers. The remedy will consist of the following: (1) disabling the fuel heater by either installing a plug in place of the fuel heater or otherwise rendering the fuel heater inoperable and (2) removing the fuse supplying electrical power to the fuel heater and installing a cover over the wire harness connector. The repair will be completed free of charge (parts and labor) and most applications will require approximately 30 minutes to complete.

 

This safety recall addresses the potential safety defect for your engine. However, this repair will disable the fuel heater. CumminseBay is currently working to determine an appropriate cold weather starting aid for customers that require it.  CumminseBay Distributors  and Dealers will be notified when a separate field action is available.

 

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? 

Contact the nearest CumminseBay Distributor or authorized Warranty Dealer to arrange to have this campaign performed on your engine. The distributor or dealer will work with you to schedule the best date to complete this repair.

In the meantime, to mitigate the safety risk, CumminseBay advises you to remove the fuel heater fuse as shown in Figures 1, 2 or 3 below (based on the vehicle).

Federal law requires vehicle lessors receiving this recall notice to forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten (10) days. Also, it is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new vehicle or equipment covered by this recall notice under a sale or lease until the defect has been remedied.

If you previously paid to have this recall performed on your vehicle, you may be eligible for reimbursement. Please contact CumminseBay Care at the number below for more information.

 

WHO SHOULD YOU CONTACT IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS?
