2011–2013 Lodal EVO recall: engine

⚠️ What's wrong

Lodal, Inc. (Lodal) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Evo garbage trucks manufactured January 12, 2011, through December 31, 2013, 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.

💥 The risk

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.

🔧 The fix

Cummins Inc. and Cummins Wesport Inc. will notify owners, and authorized Cummins service facilities will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge. The recall began in April 2014. Owners may contact Lodal at 1-800-435-3500 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357.

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.)
