Last checked

15 Mar 2023

An official Product Safety NZ notice concerns Cummins throttle assemblies. Certain throttle assemblies have an elevated risk of intermittent failure. The intermittent throttle is caused by wire connections within the throttle assembly that may experience an increase in electrical resistance over time, resulting in an incorrect electrical signal out of the throttle assembly. 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. Published 2023-03-15.
