Cummins recalls X15 diesel engines

Cummins is recalling 251 X15 diesel engines, part number D103109BX03.

The capscrews that attach the flywheel to the crankshaft may have been improperly torqued, allowing the flywheel to detach.

A detached flywheel can cause loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

Additionally, driveline pieces may be ejected from the engine compartment, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

Cummins will notify owners, and dealers will properly torque the capscrews and inspect for possible damage and -- if necessary -- repair any damage found free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin March 29, 2021.

Owners may contact Cummins customer service at (800) 286-6467. Cummin's number for this recall is C2402.
