Cummins Power Generation Generator SET Recall 18V504: Generator Remote Emergency Stop May Not Shut Off Unit

NHTSA campaign 18V504, reported July 31, 2018, 921 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain trailer-mounted Cummins generator sets from 2015 through 2018 may have incorrectly wired remote emergency stop and remote start connections. As a result, pressing the remote E-stop may not shut down the generator as intended.

If the unit does not shut down when the remote emergency stop is activated, the risk of injury increases, because the generator may keep running when an operator expects it to stop. Owners will be notified by Cummins. Dealers will inspect the remote E-stop function and, if needed, repair or replace the remote E-stop/remote start switch panel at no cost. The recall is expected to begin in September 2018. For questions, contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467, and check your vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
