The problem

On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with cummins c8.3g and l10g electronic control modules (Ecm), 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.

The risk

If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

The fix

Cummins will notify the customers and replace the ECM. Owners should contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or crane carrier at 1-918-836-1651.

Notes

Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
