Chronology :
May 13, 2021 – An incident occurred at the Cummins assembly plant during which an alternator fell onto an assembly table after the lifting cable pulled out of the ferrule. No injury occurred. That same day, an OEM customer notified Cummins
that a unit fell while being lifted at the OEM facility. Cummins
initiated a stop ship/stop build and instructed account managers to notify affected OEM’s not to use the cable to lift the gensets pending further investigation of the issue.
May 13 – June 21, 2021 – Cummins conducted an investigation into the issue, including working with the supplier to conduct tests on the cable crimp to evaluate the resulting lifting capability.
May 27, 2021 – Cummins began production with properly crimped cables.
June 17 – July 27 – Cummins assessed the safety risk of this condition.
July 21, 2021 – Cummins published a quality campaign to the field. (TSB210146-07132021 was submitted to NHTSA on August 6, 2021, in accordance with 49 CFR Part 579.5.)
August 10, 2021 – Based upon the results of the investigation, Cummins’ Product Safety Defect Board decided to conduct a safety campaign to address this condition in the subject population. To date, there have been no injuries related to this condition.
