Dear Cummins OEM Customer:
We are writing to inform you that Cummins Inc. has determined that a safety-related defect exists in certain PD7000 Electric Drivetrain air compressors that were manufactured between June 1, 2018 and April 18, 2022. Cummins has initiated a recall of the subject air compressors. Our records indicate that some of these air compressors have been shipped to you.
A copy of Cumminsโ initial Part 573 Defect Notification report is enclosed. This notification was submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on July 6, 2022. As more fully described in the Defect Notification, the air compressor housing on these units is not properly grounded. As a consequence, the air compressor housing may experience an electrical voltage potential greater than 50V AC during air compressor operation, possibly leading to an electric shock.
Cummins is recalling part number 5611745, which was contained in air compressor assemblies 300543 and 300154 that our records indicate were shipped to your plants. For air compressors installed in vehicles that have left your control, we encourage you to make a safety defect determination in accordance with 49 USC 30118 et seq. and, as appropriate, to submit a Defect Notification to NHTSA in accordance with 49 CFR Part 573. Cummins will conduct the recall, including notifying owners pursuant to 49 CFR Part 577, performing the remedy, and submitting quarterly status reports to NHTSA. Cummins is requesting that you provide the associated vehicle model identification, VINs and owner contact information to facilitate owner notification. Please work with your Cummins account team leader to ensure that the requested information is provided to Cummins as soon as possible.

Warranty Statement
Contents
The information in this document has no effect on present warranty coverage or repair practices, nor does it authorize TRP or Campaign actions.
Product Affected
BES CM0904 EV104B BES CM2450 EV105B
Issue Summary
Cummins Inc. recommends installation of a temporary ground between the high voltage air compressor motor and the chassis. A Cummins Inc. Safety Campaign on affected products will be released shortly.
Improper grounding between the high voltage air compressor motor and chassis can cause a voltage differential that can lead to electrical shock greater than 50V AC.
Potential for electrical shock is only present if working on the air compressor while the high
voltage air compressor motor is running.
Verification
1. Turn keyswitch OFF.
2. Verify if there is a ground strap connecting the high voltage air compressor motor to the
chassis. 8/16/22, 8:51 AM Air Compressor Improper Grounding Figure 1, High Voltage Air Compressor Motor without Ground Strap (Action Required; see Resolution). https://quickserve.cummins.com/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/tsb/2022/tsb220172.html 2/4 8/16/22, 8:51 AM Air Compressor Improper Grounding Figure 2, High Voltage Air Compressor Motor with Ground Strap Installed (No Action Required). This TSB does not apply to units with a ground strap connected to the high voltage air compressor motor. See Figure 2.
Resolution
Install a temporary ground between the high voltage air compressor motor and the chassis for duration of service on or around the air compressor.
1. Prior to starting any work on or around the air compressor, turn keyswitch OFF.
2. Install a temporary grounding method between high voltage air compressor motor and chassis for the duration of working on the air compressor. An example of a temporary grounding method is connecting a jumper wire with alligator clips to a nut or bolt on the high voltage air compressor motor and a nut or bolt on the chassis.
3. Perform the necessary work.
4. Remove temporary grounding method following completion of work. https://quickserve.cummins.com/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/tsb/2022/tsb220172.html 3/4 8/16/22, 8:51 AM Air Compressor Improper Grounding

Suite 200
Macon, GA 31210
Dear Cummins OEM Customer: We are writing to inform you that Cummins Inc. has determined that a safety-related defect exists in certain PD7000 Electric Drivetrain air compressors that were manufactured between June 1, 2018 and April 18, 2022. Cummins has initiated a recall of the subject air compressors. Our records indicate that some of these air compressors have been shipped to you. A copy of Cumminsโ initial Part 573 Defect Notification report is enclosed. This notification was submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on July 6, 2022. As more fully described in the Defect Notification, the air compressor housing on these units is not properly grounded. As a consequence, the air compressor housing may experience an electrical voltage potential greater than 50V AC during air compressor operation, possibly leading to an electric shock. Cummins is recalling part number 5611745, which was contained in air compressor assemblies 300543 and 300154 that our records indicate were shipped to your plants. For air compressors installed in vehicles that have left your control, we encourage you to make a safety defect determination in accordance with 49 USC 30118 et seq. and, as appropriate, to submit a Defect Notification to NHTSA in accordance with 49 CFR Part 573. Cummins will conduct the recall, including notifying owners pursuant to 49 CFR Part 577, performing the remedy, and submitting quarterly status reports to NHTSA. Cummins is requesting that you provide the associated vehicle model identification, VINs and owner contact information to facilitate owner notification. Please work with your Cummins account team leader to ensure that the requested information is provided to Cummins as soon as possible. As a supplier of original equipment, Cummins has no obligation to submit a defect notification to Transport Canada. However, Cummins does, as a courtesy, notify Transport Canada when Cummins submits a defect notification to NHTSA, advising that some OEMs may have affected vehicles. If you have an obligation to report the defect to Transport Canada, we ask that you please provide us with the Transport Canada recall number assigned to your vehicle recall.
Cummins cannot mail owner letters compliant with Transport Canada regulations with respect to your recalled vehicles without the recall number assigned by Transport Canada. Cummins will provide the applicable data to you after our mailings are completed so that you can submit the required notification reports to Transport Canada, as well as provide you the completion rate data
so that you can submit the required quarterly completion reports to Transport Canada. For engines/vehicles that are still in your inventory, please contact William Herhold at william.herhold@cummins.com to arrange for repairs. Please note that Federal law prohibits delivery of these engines, or vehicles equipped with these engines, under a sale or lease until this condition has been remedied. Cummins apologizes for this inconvenience, but we are initiating this action in the interest of our customersโ safety and satisfaction with our products. Thank you for your assistance. Please confirm receipt of this communication.

FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : This condition may lead to an electric shock for any person (in particular,
service personnel) touching the air compressor housing assembly while the air compressor is operating.
Description of the Cause : The cause is missing electrical grounding of the air compressor housing with
respect to the vehicle chassis. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-054 Page 2 Identification of Any Warning

Country : NR Chronology :
4/21/22 โ A Cummins employee experienced a mild electric shock when he touched the air compressor motor housing at a Cummins facility. 4/21 โ 5/11/22 โ An investigation was conducted to understand the cause of the issue. During the investigation, the voltage between the air compressor housing and vehicle chassis for the incident unit was measured as 110 V to 130V AC. Testing was conducted on the two configurations of air compressor and inverter assemblies to understand the ground paths and to verify the missing ground. 5/11 โ 6/1/22 โ A Product Safety Hazard Analysis was conducted. Testing was completed on the current production air compressor to confirm that it does not have this condition. 6/1 โ 6/28/22 โ Cummins escalated the issue through its Product Safety Defect Determination process. 6/28/22 โ Based upon the results of the investigation, the Cummins Product Safety Defect Board decided to conduct a safety campaign to address this condition. To date, there have been no reports of electrical shock (other than the Cummins employee on 4/21/22) or injuries due to this condition. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-054 Page 3 Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : An electrical ground strap will be installed between the air compressor
motor housing and the vehicle chassis. Pursuant to 49 CFR 577.11(e), Cummins requests that it be exempt from providing notification of a reimbursement plan. Any pre-notification product failure would have been replaced under the manufacturerโs limited warranty. Accordingly, no person would be eligible for reimbursement pursuant to 573.13. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component :
Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The air compressor with the remedy ground strap installed will be visibly different than the air compressor without the ground strap.
For reasons unrelated to this condition, units manufactured on and after 4/19/2022 are equipped with a new air compressor (P/N 5678863) in which the air compressor and electrical inverter are integrated into a single assembly that is collectively electrically grounded and does not have this condition. Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : Cummins expects to notify affected OEMs no later than July 13, 2022.
Cummins will conduct the recall and notify owners. The timing of owner notification will be determined in consultation with the affected OEMs. Cummins notified owners with an interim letter on September 2, 2022. Cummins expects the remedy to be available and published to Cummins’ service network in January 2023 and will mail owner letters shortly after the campaign is released to the field.
