Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Vehicle speed control
Problem: On certain trucks and buses equipped with cummins electronic control modules on the c8.3g and l10g engines, the ecm does not have the ability to detect a throttle fail-safe engine shutdown command. This could result in an unanticipated, uncommanded open throttle condition without warning.
Risk: If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Cummins will notify the customers and replace the ecm. Owners should contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or freightliner at 1-503-745-5219.
