Recalls- Rearview mirrors. NHTSA recall 24V017000 affects 10,611 vehicles due to the glass lock ring on the cab mirror assembly possibly not being fully seated, which may cause the mirror glass to detach. Detached mirrors reduce driver visibility and increase crash risk. Dealers will inspect and repair the mirror glass lock ring free of charge.
- Gear shifter linkage. NHTSA recall 24V190000 involves 70,509 trucks where the right-hand gear shifter stalk connectors may have improper crimps causing loss of communication with the transmission. This can disable the vehicle after stopping, increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace the gear shifter assembly as necessary free of charge.
- Brake pedal connection. NHTSA recall 23V087000 covers 8,008 trucks where the pedal plunger may disconnect from the brake valve when the pedal is rapidly released, leading to service brake failure. This increases crash risk and dealers will add a pedal restraint bracket at no cost.
- Trailer brake release timing. NHTSA recall 23V661000 affects 254 vehicles with a delayed trailer brake release that causes noncompliance with federal air brake standards. Delay can cause trailer instability and crash risk. Dealers will replace valve fittings and hoses free of charge.
- Steering gear assembly. NHTSA recall 22V547000 involves 47,500 trucks where incorrectly assembled steering gears may fracture, causing loss of steering control and increased crash risk. Dealers will inspect serial numbers and replace steering gears as needed free of charge.
- Fuel hose leak. NHTSA recall 21V601000 covers 688 trucks with a fuel hose leak between the pump and filter head, increasing fire risk. Cummins will replace the fuel hoses free of charge.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs related to these recalls or unresolved safety defects may have rights under their state’s lemon law. It may be advisable to review those options if defects remain unaddressed or issues persist.
