Cummins ISC Compressor Recall Campaign

May 16, 2011, 10:02:05 pm

Hi Folks,

Just a reminder that if you are running a Cummins ISC engine, 2001 or newer, the 10 year old recall campaign for the engine compressor expires June 30th. Call Cummins with your engine serial number to see if your engine is included in this campaign.
I just had mine done. It's approximately a $2400 job, totally covered by Cummins.
While the techs were in there, they found that my engine also had the infamous (for the ISC) exhaust manifold crack. They replaced the manifold on my dime. Approx $1000.

Walt,

I believe this is the correct info re: the compressor campaign:

Dave,

We had the same work done in April on our 01' Intrigue, chassie # 11309. I am thinking the washers on the old manafold could be part of the problem. Cummins installed larger washer this time.
I sent the same message out too not knowing there was a recall. Hope others read this too.

Paul,
