What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the failure of a safety mechanism (emergency stop) could lead to injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Cummins Inc. is recalling certain 2015-2018 Power Generation trailer models, including the C60D6R, C150D6R, C80D6R, C100D6R, C200D6R, C300D6R, C150D2R3, C200D2Re, C275D2Re, C70D2Re, and C100D2Re. The recall involves 921 units that may have incorrectly wired remote emergency stop and remote start connections.
This defect can cause the remote stop function to fail to shut down the generator as intended. If the unit does not shut down when the remote E-stop is activated, it can increase the risk of injury to the operator or bystanders.
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 was expected to begin in September 2018. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
