weeks to Months in some cases only to have the def head finally replaced only to fail again with in a couple thousand miles. Emissions are not effected, but "Shaw Development" (DEF Head manufacturer ) Nor Cummins (engine manufacturer) has not done anything to prompt the EPA to allow a work around for this problem. Emergency Response vehicles do have programing in their ECU which allow them to operate normally until new parts are available. Why not for the thousands of Motor Home owners as well as over the road trucks which are effected as well. It's not a question of if this will happen, it's a question of when this will happen.
