ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR DIESEL ENGINES, THE STRAPS THAT SUPPORT THE CONVERTER MUFFLERS TO THE CHASSIS, THESE WELDS ARE CAUSING THE STRAPS TO FAIL.
WHEN THE STRAPS FAIL, THE MUFFLER CAN DROP TO THE GROUND.
CATERPILLAR IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. CATERPILLAR WILL HAVE THE CONVERTER MUFFLER STRAPS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CATERPILLAR AT 309-675-6496 OR JAYCO AT 1-800-283-8267.
