2012 UNIVERSAL SPECIALTY EAGLE; 2011 UNIVERSAL SPECIALTY EAGLE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Universal Specialty Vehicles is recalling certain 2011-2012 Eagle recreational vehicles 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 parts of the engine's diesel oxidation catalyst and particulate filter system can develop a fractured T-bolt, which may cause the clamp to loosen and disconnect from the housing.
If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent before exiting the tailpipe, creating a risk of combustion and fire. In some cases where both clamps fail, the entire housing may detach and create a road hazard. The recall began October 10, 2011, and authorized Cummins dealers will perform repairs free of charge. Owners should contact Cummins at 1-812-377-5000 to arrange service.
