Recall 03V-244: 1997 Crane COE, 1997 Crane LET
CRANE CARRIER COMPANY recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Jul 9, 2003, covering about 4 vehicles.
The problem
On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with cummins c8.3g and l10g electronic control modules (Ecm), the ECM does not have the ability to detect a throttle fail-safe engine shutdown command. This could result in an unanticipated, uncommanded open throttle condition without warning.
The risk
If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Cummins will notify the customers and replace the ECM. Owners should contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or crane carrier at 1-918-836-1651.
Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
