Recall 2001136

The issue

Certain heavy duty trucks equipped with Cummins ISC engines. Diodes contained in the pre-heat circuit of certain engine wiring harnesses were not properly insulated during the harness manufacturing process. This lack of insulation could allow the diodes to contact each other leading to a short circuit and possibly a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect the harnesses and remedy, if required, by properly insulating the diodes.

Description (français)

Vise certains camions lourds équipés d'un moteur Cummins ISC. Les diodes qui se trouvent dans le circuit de préchauffage du faisceau de câbles de certains moteurs n'ont pas été bien isolées lors du procédé de fabrication. En raison du manque d'isolation, il se peut que des diodes se touchent et qu'un court-circuit s'ensuive, ce qui pourrait provoquer un incendie dans le compartiment moteur. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les faisceaux et, s'il y a lieu, corriger le problème en isolant correctement les diodes.
