2008 Kenworth T800 & 2008 Peterbilt 320 + 5 more recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks built with cummins ism C876 engines, the electronic control module fails to recognize inputs of the vehicle electronic control unit or from a driver actuated dash switch thereby increasing the risk of unintended (or unexpected) elevated exhaust temperatures.
💥 The risk
While this condition does not involve a risk of fire in the vehicle itself, it could present a fire hazard in a situation where the vehicle's exhaust is in close proximity to materials or substances that CAN melt, burn, or explode.
🔧 The fix
Cummins, in conjunction with paccar, will conduct the remedy campaign. Cummis will install new ECM software. Owners CAN contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357, peterbilt at 940-591-4201 or kenworth at 425-828-5440.
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.)
