2017 Volvo VNL recall: engine
⚠️ What's 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 1-800-343-7357 or Volvo customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo's number for this recall is RVXX1604.
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.)
