2013 Crane LDT2 recalls

Defect: Crane Carrier Company (Crane Carrier) is recalling certain model year 2008-2015 COE, LDT2, and LET2 trucks manufactured February 25, 2008, to May 20, 2015, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.

Why it matters: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

Cummins will notify owners on behalf of Crane Carrier, and dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow. In addition, the electronic control module (ECM) will be reprogrammed with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Owners may contact Crane Carrier customer service at 1-918-836-1651 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.

Defect: Crane Carrier Company (Crane) is recalling certain model year 2013 LET2 and LDT2 vehicles manufactured June 30, 2014, to July 31, 2014. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, whose filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning.

Why it matters: If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.

Cummins will notify owners on behalf of Crane, and Cummins service centers will replace the fuel filter with a non-defective one, free of charge. The recall began on September 29, 2014. Owners may contact Crane customer service at 1-918-836-1651. Owners may also contact Cummins at 1-800-223-4583. Cummins number for this recall is C1545.

Defect: Crane Carrier Company (Crane) is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 LET2, COE, LDT2, and LE2 refuse vehicles manufactured April 16, 2008, through February 28, 2014, 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.

Why it matters: 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.

Cummins Inc. and Cummins Wesport Inc. will notify owners, and authorized Cummins service facilities will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Customers may contact contact Crane at 1-918-832-7305 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357.
