Recalls- Air supply reservoir tanks. Recall 24V145000 affects 996 vehicles due to air tanks with insufficient volume for the brake system. This defect reduces braking performance and increases crash risk. Dealers will install tanks with the correct volume free of charge.
- Air brake system airline. Recall 17V322000 involves 23 vehicles with an incorrectly sized brake control airline, causing imbalance in brake application timing. This lengthens stopping distance and raises crash risk. Dealers will update brake piping at no cost.
- Electronic stability control software. Recalls 20V199000 and 18V368000 affect over 546,000 vehicles combined. The ABS warning light may fail to illuminate when ABS power is lost. Driving unaware of ABS failure increases crash risk. Dealers will update NAMUX software free of charge.
- Fuel pump cooling screen. Recall 18V657000 covers 48,896 vehicles with a fuel line burst risk due to a restricted fuel pump cooling circuit screen under specific conditions. Fuel leaks and engine stalls may occur, increasing crash hazards. Dealers will replace the cooling circuit screen free of charge.
- Engine harness circuits. Recalls 18V555000 affect 11,429 vehicles where engine harnesses lack circuits for check engine and stop engine lights. Lack of warning may cause unexpected engine failure and increased crash risk. Dealers will add overlay jumper harnesses at no cost.
- Engine control modules. Recall 16V426000 involves 3,227 vehicles with ECMs that may short circuit, causing the engine to stall without restart. This creates crash risk. Dealers and Cummins will replace faulty ECMs free of charge.
- Tire tread separation. Recall 16V803000 covers 202 vehicles equipped with Goodyear tires where incomplete adhesion may cause partial tread separation. This increases crash risk. Dealers will replace tires free of charge.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues may want to review their rights under state lemon laws. These laws could provide protections for consumers dealing with ongoing safety or performance defects.
