- Defect:
- 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.
- Consequence:
- 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.

- Sutphen 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 during october 2011. owners may contact cummins at 1-812-377-5000 or sutphen at 1-866-287-5549.

- Campaign:
- 11V586000 on 12/13/2011
- Component:
- Electronic stability control
- Affected:
- 98
- Defect:
- Sutphen is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2012 vehicles and equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control (esc) modules. see the list above for the affected models. under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (esc) system. this might cause the esc to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
- Consequence:
- If the driver is slow to react during this esc intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Sutphen is working with meritor wabco to replace the control module free of charge. please see meritor wabco defect report 11e-039. the safety recall began on december 16, 2011. owners may contact meritor on track customer service at 1-866-668-7221.
