All recalls
Vehicle speed control
- What is wrong
- On certain buses equipped with cummins electronic control modules on the c8.3g and l10g engines, 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.
- Risk
- If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Cummins will notify the customers and replace the ECM. Owners should contact cummins at 1‑800‑343‑7357 or neoplan at 719‑336‑3256, ext. 476.
