Engine and engine cooling

What is wrong
Gillig is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 lowfloor buses equipped with cummins engines. The v-band clamp assembly 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.
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.
Remedy
Gillig is working with cummins to identify owners. Cummins is handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign please see the federal safety agency recall 11e-031. Owners may contact cummins at 1‑812‑377‑5000.
