DEFECT #1 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL


Posted on: 2003-07-17
Description
On certain trucks and 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.  

Consequence
If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.  

Corrective Action
Cummins will notify the customers and replace the ecm.  Owners should contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or freightliner at 1-503-745-5219.

Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
