What happened

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2011-2012 Business Class M2 and Coronado trucks manufactured between September 1, 2010, and December 31, 2010, that are equipped with Cummins ISX or ISL diesel engines. The V-band clamp assembly that connects inlet and outlet sections to the diesel oxidation catalyst/diesel particulate filter housing can experience T-bolt fractures, which may cause the clamp to loosen and the connected sections to disconnect. If this happens, hot exhaust gases can vent before exiting the tailpipe, risking combustion and fire. In some cases where both clamps fail, the housing itself may detach completely, creating a road hazard.

Authorized Cummins dealers will perform repairs free of charge as part of this safety recall, which began October 10, 2011. Owners should contact Cummins at 1-812-377-5000 or Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712 to inquire about their vehicle and arrange repairs.

Hazard

IF THE INLET OR OUTLET SECTIONS DISCONNECT, HOT EXHAUST GASES CAN VENT PRIOR TO EXITING THE TAILPIPE, CREATING THE RISK OF COMBUSTION AND A FIRE. IF BOTH CLAMPS FAIL, THERE IS A RISK IN SOME APPLICATIONS THAT THE DOC/DPF HOUSING MAY DETACH COMPLETELY, CREATING A ROAD HAZARD.

What should I do?

DAIMLER TRUCKS IS WORKING WITH CUMMINS TO IDENTIFY AND NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED CUMMINS DEALERS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 10, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CUMMINS AT 1-812-377-5000 OR DAIMLER TRUCKS AT 1-800-547-0712.
