2018 Cummins Power Generation Generator Set

Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

921 units potentially affected
The defect: Cummins Inc. (Cummins) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Power Generation trailers, models C60D6R, C150D6R, C80D6R, C100D6R, C200D6R, C300D6R, C150D2R3 and C200D2Re, 2016-2018 C275D2Re and 2018 C70D2Re and C100D2Re. These generator sets may have incorrectly wired remote emergency stop and remote start connections causing the remote stop to not function and shut down the generator as intended.
The risk: If the unit does not shut down as expected when the remote E-stop is activated, it can increase the risk of injury.
The remedy: Cummins will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the remote E-stop function and, if necessary, repair or replace the remote E-stop/remote start switch panel, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 2018. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467.
