CUMMINS ISL9; CUMMINS ISC8.3; CUMMINS ISX15; CUMMINS ISB6.7; CUMMINS ISX11.9
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Cummins is recalling certain ISB6.7, ISC8.3, ISL9, ISX11.9, and ISX15 engines that were shipped between September 2010 and December 2010 to various vehicle manufacturers. These engines were installed in recreational vehicles, emergency vehicles, buses, and certain truck applications. The problem involves V-band clamp assemblies (part numbers Q187684, Q187685, and Q187686) that connect inlet and outlet sections to the diesel oxidation catalyst/diesel particulate filter housing. A T-bolt in these clamps can fracture and fail under stress or load, causing the clamp to loosen.
If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect from the housing due to clamp failure, hot exhaust gases can vent before exiting the tailpipe, creating a risk of combustion and fire. If both clamps fail completely, the housing may detach entirely, creating a road hazard. The safety recall began on October 10, 2011. Affected consumers should contact Cummins at 1-812-377-5000 or their vehicle manufacturer to identify and notify owners about the recall.
