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.
