"Record $2 Billion Settlement: Cummins to Recall 600,000 Ram Trucks in Emissions Cheating Scandal"
The Department of Justice has reached a settlement with engine manufacturer Cummins Inc. that includes a mandatory recall of 600,000 Ram trucks due to illegal installation of emissions control software, resulting in a $1.675 billion civil penalty, the largest ever under the Clean Air Act. Cummins is accused of circumventing emissions testing and must also pay $325 million for remedies. The settlement aims to address environmental damage caused by excess emissions and serves as a warning against corporate cheating.
