Affects International 9000 Series · 2003 — about 468 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, a single band type exhaust clamp was installed on the tail pipes instead of a double band type clamp. The single band clamp can lose its clamping ability while under normal driving conditions causing the tail pipe to loosen and potentially fall off. The pipe could come off without warning and get into the path of other vehicles on the highway possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: Dealer will replace all single band clamps with double band clamps.
