- What the dealer does
- Cummins will update the electronic control module software and install a corrected data plate, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 5, 2025. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is F1012.
- 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 nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles

How this campaign compares
At 139 vehicles this is a small campaign: 66% 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 2015 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Freightliner vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 38 times before this, most recently in July 2022 as 22V554000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, 8 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2022, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V760000 (suspension), 22V919000 (wheels), 22V817000 (service brakes, air), 22V118000 (service brakes, air).
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.
