Cummins Inc. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 6RBAB, 8RBAB, 10RBAB, 15RBAB generator sets that were manufactured between January 29, 2021 and May 13, 2021. This notice applies to your 6RBAB, 8RBAB, 10RBAB, or 15RBAB generator set(s) listed in the table on the enclosed Generator Set serial number list. WHY IS A RECALL BEING CONDUCTED? The generator sets are equipped with lifting cables to be used during product assembly, installation, service or removal. The ferrule on the genset lifting cable may have been improperly crimped by the supplier. If this condition exists, the lifting cable may pull out of the ferrule during lifting operation, which may cause the genset to fall during assembly, installation, service or removal, possibly resulting in personal injury. WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THE PROBLEM? Cummins has released field Safety Campaign #4495 RBAB Lift Cable Crimp Issue to correct this condition by inspecting the lifting cable and, if defective, replacing it with a properly crimped lifting cable. Repair parts are currently available at Cummins Distributors and authorized Warranty Dealers. The repair will be completed free of charge and most applications will require approximately 7 hours to complete. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? If the generator set must be lifted or moved, DO NOT use the lifting cable until it has been inspected as part of this campaign. Instead, use an alternative method for lifting until the lifting cable can be inspected and, if necessary, replaced with a properly crimped lifting cable. Cummins Inc. Box 3005 Columbus, IN 47202-3005 USA Mail Code: 40911 Phone: 1 800 CUMMINS care.cummins.com Contact the nearest Cummins Distributor or authorized Warranty Dealer to arrange to have this campaign performed on your generator set. The distributor or dealer will work with you to schedule the best date to complete this repair. 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.
