What is wrong

Volvo Trucks North America (Trucks) is recalling certain model year 2017 VNL trucks manufactured March 15, 2016, to April 20, 2016, equipped with a Cummins ISX12 or ISX15 engine using certain engine control modules (ECM). These ECM's may experience an internal electrical short that can cause a fuse to blow, resulting in an unexpected engine stall without the ability to restart the engine.

The risk

An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Cummins will notify owners, and Cummins dealers will replace the existing ECM with a new ECM, free of charge. The recall began on July 11, 2016. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-[removed] or Volvo customer service at 1-[removed]. Volvo's number for this recall is RVXX1604.

Notes from the manufacturer
