The exhaust system separated between the turbo and the particulate filter on the cummins diesel engine. This is in a spartan rv chassis. The heat from the exhaust leak due to the flexible exhaust bellows caused extensive thermal damage. See NHTSA recall 16v-313 as that recall describes the problem exactly.
