2010–2011 Sutphen Pumpers/rescue & 2010 Sutphen SL75 recall: engine

⚠️ What's wrong

Sutphen corporation (sutphen) is recalling certain model year 2010 SL75 and model year 2010-2011 pumpers and rescue firefighting vehicles, equipped with a cummins isb, isx, or diesel engine 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.

💥 The risk

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.
