The hazard
On certain trucks, the Aftertreatment Regeneration Device (ARD) may develop a hole, allowing heat and flame to escape during a regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This could result in a fire, causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the ARD body and, if necessary, upgrade the software.
