⚠️ What's wrong

On certain trucks, when using a cummins electronic icon service tool 2.2, an unintended engine start will occur.

💥 The risk

🔧 The fix

Cummins is conducting this recall (please see 06E063000) and will replace the icon service tool 2.2 with a new icon service tool 2.3 free of charge. Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or peterbilt at 1-940-591-4201.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
