Volvo Trucks North America: Engine and Engine Cooling › Engine › Diesel
Volvo Trucks North America reported this defect to federal regulators on Jun 1, 2016 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 136. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
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 remedy
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.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 16V393000.
