What's wrong?
The engine control module on the 2022 Kalmar Ottawa T2 is the engine-mounted computer that tells the Cummins diesel engine how to run. It reads signals from sensors and controls engine operation, including fuel and timing commands. The engine depends on that module staying powered and communicating correctly.
In affected vehicles, a supplier production fixture allowed a screw to back out of position during ECM production. That screw pushed a capacitor frame into the printed circuit board, the board that carries the module's electrical paths. NHTSA campaign 22V786 describes the result as an internal electrical short-circuit. If the short occurs while the vehicle is operating, the engine can stall and increase the risk of a crash.
There is no warning sign before failure. The engine stall can happen without advance symptoms, so the recalled ECM has to be replaced rather than diagnosed by feel or sound alone.
