What the defect is
Cummins Inc. (Cummins) is recalling certain Cummins Emission Solution Ecofit Tier2 DOC Raincaps part numbers 4354195, A048L539, 4352927, A047A112, and 89486A manufactured December 17, 2012, to October 29, 2014. The affected raincaps are used on exhaust aftertreatment systems. The raincap lid may detach during transport or during stationary engine operation.
What could happen
If the raincap lid detaches during transport it can fall into the roadway, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the raincap lid detaches during stationary engine operation, it can fall increasing the risk of personal injury. The raincap lid may also be very hot, further increasing the risk of personal injury.
What gets fixed
Cummins will notify owners, and dealers will replace the raincap assembly, free of charge. The recall began January 28, 2015.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 9 December 2014.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Additional notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
