What is 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.
