(1) 379-9017 Brackets
(2) 377-7376 Adapter
(3) Bolts
(4) 550-0794 Bracket and 550-0795 Plate As
(5) 508-6705 BracketNote: The two piece bracket assembly (4) is currently a one piece bracket.First the 379-9017 Brackets (1) fail.Second the 377-7376 Adapter Y-Pipe (2) fails.Note: Bolts (3) were failed / missing at several sites experiencing these failures. Investigating to determine if this is the initial failure.Perform Regular Inspections
When possible, perform regular inspections of all brackets and hardware shown above.Note: Inspect components often, daily if engine has had previous failures.Document if either of the bolts (3) have broken prior to the 379-9017 Brackets starting to crack.When failures of any of these components occur, take pictures of the brackets, Y-pipe, and bolts.Provide the information to your Cat dealer Technical Communicator (TC) along with this Technical Information Bulletin (TIB) and CPI Number 412887.Communicate any information to Caterpillar Customer Service through the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN).Keep all failed parts including pieces of bolts for return to Caterpillar service via the Send It Back (SIB) process.
