- 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.
- What it can cause
- 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.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 128 vehicles this is a small campaign: 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Cummins Power Generation vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in July 2019 as 19V552000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V934000 (equipment), 21V888000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Cummins, Inc. with NHTSA on July 6, 2022 as campaign 22V464000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
