Affected vehicles

Mitsubishi V6120 2015–2017

Hazard

In combine harvesters, due to inadequate insulation treatment of the exhaust pipe and its vicinity, as well as improper design, chaff accumulates near the exhaust pipe. During diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration processing, the exhaust pipe surface temperature rises to high levels, and accumulated straw chaff in the vicinity may contact the heated pipe. This can cause the straw chaff to emit smoke and, in worst cases, lead to fire.

Remedy

For all vehicles, replace the exhaust pipe and add insulation material, covers, and labels.
