Summary
Lbce is recalling certain model year 2010 lbce model htc-3140 cranes equipped with caterpillar diesel C15 engines. Overtime, a weld in the combustion tube that is inside of the diesel particulate filter can fail causing the filter to be burned through by hot combustion gases.
Consequence
A fire could result if these hot gases erupt near something flammable.
Remedy
Caterpillar is handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Please see caterpillar's defect report 11E-006. Caterpillar will replace the existing combustion tube with a thick wall combustion tube which will not allow the heat to break through. This service will be performed free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety recall by lbce on June 2, 2011. A second notice will be issued when parts become available which is currently estimated to be mid-august 2011. Owners may contact caterpillar toll-free at 1-800-447-4986.

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Lbce been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Lbce dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
