"Record $2 Billion Emissions Cheating Settlement: 600,000 Ram Trucks Recalled"

Cummins Inc. will recall 600,000 Ram trucks equipped with illegal software that allowed them to cheat diesel emissions tests, as part of a $2 billion settlement with federal and California authorities. The settlement also includes a $1.675 billion civil penalty and $325 million for pollution remedies. The recall affects trucks from 2013 through 2019 model years, with additional trucks from 2019 through 2023 having unreported emissions control software. This comes after similar emissions cheating cases involving Volkswagen, Fiat Chrysler, and Daimler in recent years, highlighting the ongoing challenges in enforcing emissions standards in the automotive industry.
