2003 Crane LCF & 2003 Crane LET2 recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with cummins westport b gas plus or c gas plus 6 cylinder engines, the electronic control module calibration may not correctly detect a throttle plate actuator failure that could result in an uncommanded open throttle condition.
💥 The risk
If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Both units have already had the electronic control module calibration replaced.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
