Cummins Marine Engine Throttles
Published 31 March 2023
Product
Marine engine throttles with part numbers: 5563449, 5563448 and 5563447. Throttles sold individually, or as installed in certain Cummins B, C, L, and M marine engines. (See list of Engine Serial Numbers (ESN) enclosed to this posting for the specific engines that may be affected by this recall.)
Why it was recalled
Affected throttles have an elevated risk of intermittent failure which can result in an incorrect electrical signal out of the throttle assembly.
Hazard
If this occurs, the throttle may become unresponsive, the vessel might remain in gear causing the propeller to turn when neutral is desired and/or the engines may not restart, increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.
