What's wrong?
The engine control module, or ECM, in these 2023 International Mv, Tc, Lt, Hv, Hx, and Lonestar vehicles is the computer that manages engine operation. It reads sensor signals and controls fuel, timing, and other engine commands so the diesel engine keeps running as intended.
On affected vehicles, the Cummins engine has a suspect ECM built with an internal production defect. During ECM production, a screw in a supplier solder fixture backed out of position and pushed an electrolytic capacitor frame into the printed circuit board. That contact can create an internal electrical short circuit inside the ECM. When that happens, the engine can stall because the module stops controlling the engine correctly.
There is no warning sign before failure. The stall can happen without a light, sound, or change in engine feel that gives the driver time to react.
Who's affected?
The scope mixes truck and bus models, all tied to the same diesel engine control module.
