What is wrong
Cummins Inc. (Cummins) and Cummins Westport Inc. are recalling certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines, part number G6LTAA8.9E, manufactured February 26, 2007, to April 14, 2015. 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 can happen
If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Cummins has begun the process of notifying the affected vehicle manufacturers and vehicle owners. 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 Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357. Cummins number for this recall is C1627.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
