2010 ORION VII
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Buses North America is recalling certain 2010 Orion VII transit buses manufactured between November 2010 and January 2011 that are equipped with Cummins ISB, ISX, ISC, or ISL diesel engines. The V-band clamp assemblies that connect parts to the diesel oxidation catalyst/diesel particulate filter housing contain T-bolts that can fracture and fail under stress, causing the clamps to loosen and inlet or outlet sections to disconnect from the housing.
If these sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent before exiting the tailpipe, creating a risk of combustion and fire. If both clamps fail completely, the DOC/DPF housing may detach entirely, creating a road hazard. According to the record, owners should contact Cummins at 1-812-377-5000 or Daimler Buses North America at 905-403-1111 to be notified of the recall campaign. Repairs will be performed free of charge by authorized Cummins dealers.
