Onan 5500

The Onan 5500 generator in my 2016 Challenger LX has been dying after some period of running - usually around 10 minutes. Fails with a code 36. Had the Cummins authorized rep out this morning. We tested with the compartment door open (not the generator cover) and it ran for 30 minutes. After closing the compartment door the generator shut down in 5 minutes. Cummins tech-rep says it's recirculating the heat up into the front of the compartment, and there is a service bulletin on this problem. Apparently there is a kit to resolve this issue. Anyone else have this kind of problem?

Cummins guy has gone back to his shop - says he will install the kit tomorrow.
