- What is wrong
- Hme is recalling model year 2009 1871 fire trucks built on cummins' diesel engine. The vehicles may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. Due to an issue with the logic in the ECM software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in "inhibit" mode when it is not.
- Risk
- This condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire.
- Remedy
- Hme is working with cummins to repair the engines free of charge. Please see 09e-046. Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels (1‑800‑343‑7357).
