What this recall means for you
Some diesel engines in these trucks may have an engine control module (ECM) with an internal electrical short. The short can blow a fuse, causing the engine to stall suddenly and leaving the driver unable to restart it.
An unexpected engine stall can increase the risk of a crash, particularly if it happens in traffic or at speed. Owners should watch for signs of trouble and contact the manufacturer if they believe their vehicle is affected.
The repair is free. Cummins dealers will replace the existing ECM with a new one at no cost. Contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357 or Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499, referencing recall ACX-1603, and check your VIN for open recalls.
