Cummins Recall Announced Today

[Old Rv'er]

This below recall was announced today if you have affected vehicle (not known yet which ones) your manfacturer will notify you. It would behove all owners to peridically check DOT's website to make sure your coach/vehicle is not being recalled. There are approximately 14 recalls announced today, with tiffin having two of them.

It was announced today that Cummins is recalling certain ISB6.7, ISC8.3, ISL9, ISX11.9, and ISX15 engines shipped from September 2010 through December 2010 to various vehicle manufacturers. These engines were installed in recreational vehicles, emergency vehicles, buses, and certain truck applications. The V-band clamp assembly, part numbers Q187684, Q187685, AND Q187686, used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)/Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) include a T-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load. A fracture or failure of the T-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the DOC/DPF housing to disconnect. Cummins is working with the vehicle manufacturers to identify and notify owners. The safety recall is expected to begin during September 2011. -

I got a letter from spartan over a week ago announcing this recall. There is also a thread on hear talking about someone who has already had this fail and fixed. Did not know if it applied to any except spartan chassis but it apparently does. If it fails the hot exhaust gas will melt your air hose causing it to leak. Fire is also a possibility. Good info Old, thanks for posting it,
