What’s wrong with it?
THE EXHAUST BRAKE AND MUFFLER ASSEMBLY COULD SEPARATE FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE AND BE DISCHARGED FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THAT THE EXHAUST PIPE CRACKS COMPLETELY THROUGH WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH OR IMPEDE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY.
ON CERTAIN MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS, THE EXHAUST PIPE MAY BREAK AT THE EXHAUST BRAKE MOUNTING FLANGE.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
