Kalmar 2010–2014 Engine And Engine Cooling recall
Recalled June 9, 2015 · NHTSA recall 15V357000 · Kalmar
Description
Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 Ottawa tractors manufactured December 6, 2010, to July 21, 2014, 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.
What to do
Cummins will notify owners on behalf of Kalmar, 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 Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6327 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.
