Cat Recall

Hi,

Just saw this over at the CAT RV Club page.
Caterpillar Inc. has announced NHTSA recall 11E006000, which affects C15 diesel engines manufactured between April 24, 2006, and March 27, 2009, and used in Country Coach LLC motorhomes and equipped on Custom Chassis Products LLC platforms. The number of engines involved in the United States and Canada are 27 and 31, respectively, for these manufacturers.
On the affected engines, a weld on the combustion tube, which directs heat through a body and into the diesel particulate filter, may degrade, resulting in radial heat impingement on the body. The heat may burn through certain bodies used on C15 engines and result in a potential fire hazard.

A Caterpillar dealer will replace the combustion tube with a new tube when the part is available in July 2011.
An estimated time of repair had not been established at press time. For more information about this recall, contact Caterpillar Inc. at (800) 447-4986. Owner notification is expected to begin in late July 2011.
