What's wrong?
The viscous vibration damper on these 2023-2024 Cummins Power Generation Generator Set trailers is mounted on the engine crankshaft. Its job is to absorb crankshaft vibration so the engine runs smoothly and the bolted joint stays secure while the generator set is operating or being moved.
On affected units, the damper capscrews were not tightened to the required specification during manufacturing. With too little torque, the fasteners can loosen or shear as the engine runs. Once that joint loses clamp force, the damper can come loose and separate from the engine. If inspection finds damaged parts, the dealer replaces those parts with identical original equipment parts.
An operator can get warning signs before the damper separates. The condition can turn on a fault lamp, create unusual engine vibration, or make noise from the engine area.
Who's affected?
Both model years list the engine as the recalled component and identify the viscous vibration damper as the part involved.

What's the safety risk?
A separated damper can become a projectile, strike people nearby, and increase the risk of injury. If a fault lamp comes on, engine vibration changes, or unusual noise starts, stop using the generator set and contact the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Cummins Power Generation dealer once available.
