Cummins, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Jul 6, 2022 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 128. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Cummins, Inc. (Cummins) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Cummins Power Generation C500D6Re trailer-mounted generator sets (gensets). Incorrect logic in the output box door switch may cause the gensets to not shut down as intended when operated in parallel with other gensets.
The risk
The operator may be unaware that the gensets did not shut down, which could result in burns, electrical shock or arc flash, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Cummins will repair the electrical circuit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 22, 2022. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467.

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 22V464000.
