Defect

On medium-duty trucks, the mounting method for the DPR filter clog-detection pipe is improper. Thermal expansion and contraction of the DPR main unit causes cracks to develop at the pipe mounting point. Exhaust gas leaks through the cracks, and even when soot accumulates in the DPR filter, the DPR warning lamp fails to illuminate. In the worst case, the DPR filter may sustain damage.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the affected pipe and mounting bracket with corrected parts.
