Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 139 Freightliner Business Class M2 emergency vehicles from model years 2015-2020 that are equipped with specific Cummins diesel engines. The software designed to protect the engine and manage emissions may malfunction, causing the engine to shut down suddenly and without warning while in use. To fix this, Cummins will provide a free software update for the engine's electronic control module and install a corrected data plate.
An unexpected engine shutdown in an emergency vehicle can lead to critical delays for first responders, preventing them from reaching emergencies or transporting patients, which significantly increases the risk of injury or death.
