As I write this, there are more than a few newer class As with Cummins engines dead on the road.
What is the problem? A non-critical part has failed and they cannot be driven.
What has failed? A level sensor on the DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) tanks has told the ECU that it can't regenerate the exhaust catalyst, so it can't run at any power over idle.
Why not just replace it?? Because there is a parts shortage (stop smiling Jim) and Cummins does not even have a current plan to rescue those that are shut down.
One of those I know of (from that forum only) is a 200+K$us coach that is just over a year old. The owners are full timers and are currently stuck someplace that they don't want to be.....
