What's wrong?
The engine control module, or ECM, is the engine computer on the affected 2023 trucks and chassis. It reads sensor signals and controls engine operation so fuel, timing, and other engine functions happen when commanded. Inside the ECM, a printed circuit board, or PCB, carries the electrical paths and components that let the computer communicate and control the engine.
On these units, the PCB was built with a defective solder fixture. That fixture put excess force on a capacitor, an electrical part that stores and smooths power inside the module. Over time, that force wears through an insulating layer and reaches the battery-power layer of the board. The result is high current draw, loss of communication with the ECM, and an unexpected engine shutdown.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver can go from normal operation to an engine shutdown without a prior light, sound, or drivability clue.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 22V554?
Recall 22V554 covers 1,375 2023 Fccc vehicles with an engine control module that can short internally and shut the engine down without command. An unexpected engine shutdown increases crash risk. Cummins will replace the ECM for free.
What should I do if my 2023 Fccc vehicle is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 22V554. If it is, contact a franchised Fccc dealer or DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 and reference recall FL-949. The ECM replacement is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the recall remedy says Cummins will replace the ECM free of charge. Parts and labor are covered through the recall repair.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is an unexpected engine shutdown while the vehicle is in use. If the ECM shorts internally, the engine can stop running without command, which increases crash risk. Confirm your VIN, then arrange the free ECM replacement if your vehicle is included.
What if I bought this 2023 Fccc vehicle used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included, then give recall 22V554 or DTNA recall FL-949 to the dealer service desk.
