Defect
Cummins Inc. (Cummins) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Cummins Power Generation Generator sets, models C60D6R, C150D2RE, C100D6R, C200D6R, C200D2RE, C275D2RE, and C300D6R, manufactured December 18, 2015, to October 3, 2016. The affected generator sets have been mounted on trailers, and due to the possibility that the door hinges may fail, the generator set doors may detach while the trailer is being moved.
Safety risk
If the door detaches, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Cummins will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hinges, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2016. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.
