I was looking to purchase a new 2015 Brutus HD PTO DLX and was told by the dealer that the Kohler diesel engine had an emissions recall and needed to be replaced with a new engine prior to purchase. Anyone heard of this?

Yep, just got my notice in the mail. See the thread "Kohler engine problems" for my scanned letter.

Interesting that the letter talks about an "intake resonator". Gotta wonder how that helps with emissions?

Credit to dufunnel for the scanned letter!

Yeah, I was hoping that those that didn't receive the letter could use it to take in to their dealers to prove it's a real thing. I get that a lot when I ask dealers about recalls on things. They don't believe that a consumer knows what they're talking about. I was amazed to have mine replaced so quickly though. They got it in and broken in before I needed to use it to run the snowblower across the driveway. I was hoping they made it quieter, but no dice. Can't even tell anything is different.
