Recall 15V314 affects 630 2008-2015 Crane Coe, LET2, and LDT2 trucks for an engine vent elbow defect. Repair is free at any franchised Crane dealer.
Crane is recalling 630 2008-2015 Coe, LET2, and LDT2 trucks equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines because excessive crankcase pressure can detach a vent tube elbow. Oil can then reach hot engine surfaces and increase the risk of fire, and Crane dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The 2008-2015 Crane Coe, LET2, and LDT2 trucks use a Cummins Westport ISL G engine with an open crankcase ventilation breather. That breather separates most of the engine oil from pressurized gases that escape the crankcase during normal operation. A vent tube assembly then routes those gases down toward the bottom of the engine.
On affected trucks, excessive crankcase pressure can push the 90-degree elbow of that vent tube assembly loose from the breather exit tube. The retaining barbs on the tube do not hold the elbow securely enough under that pressure. In the known incidents, high crankcase pressure was mainly linked to a cracked piston. Once the elbow detaches, engine oil can reach hot engine surfaces.
The warning signs are engine-related, not body or brake symptoms. Owners can see a loss of engine power, amber or red engine diagnostic lamps on the instrument cluster, or erratic engine operation before the elbow comes loose.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Engine oil that reaches a hot surface raises the risk of a fire. Watch for loss of engine power, amber or red engine diagnostic lamps, or erratic engine operation, and schedule the repair soon if your VIN is included. Repair is free at any franchised Crane dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2015 Crane Coe, LET2, or LDT2 truck is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Crane dealer to schedule the free repair.
- Schedule the 90-degree vent-tube elbow securing and ECM reprogramming that limits crankcase pressure and helps keep engine oil off hot surfaces.
- Bring the recall notice if Crane or Cummins mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V314 when you call.
- Ask Crane or Cummins for service guidance before operating the truck if you see engine oil near the crankcase ventilation breather or hot engine surfaces.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Crane technician secures the ends of the 90-degree elbow on the crankcase vent tube assembly. The technician also reprograms the electronic control module so the engine can adjust output during misfire conditions and limit crankcase pressure. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Crane has a general reimbursement plan for this campaign, so owners who already paid for related repairs should ask customer service or the service desk how to submit documented expenses.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 15V314?
Recall 15V314 covers 630 2008-2015 Crane Coe, LET2, and LDT2 trucks with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excess crankcase pressure can detach the 90-degree vent tube elbow, allowing engine oil to reach hot surfaces and increasing fire risk.
What should I do if my 2008-2015 Crane Coe, LET2, or LDT2 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific truck is included in recall 15V314. If it is, contact an authorized Crane dealer or Cummins service location to schedule the vent tube elbow securing and ECM software reprogramming. The recall repair is free.
Does the recall repair cost anything?
No. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the remedy for recall 15V314 is free. Dealers will secure the 90-degree elbow and reprogram the ECM software to limit crankcase pressure under misfire conditions.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is fire. NHTSA campaign 15V314 says excessive crankcase pressure can detach the vent tube elbow, which can let engine oil contact hot surfaces. If your VIN is included, schedule the free repair before the truck stays in regular service.
What if I bought this Crane truck used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2008-2015 Crane Coe, LET2, or LDT2 is included, then reference recall 15V314 when you contact the dealer or service location.
