I have a 2019 Kubota X 1100 C and the muffler has a crack in it.
is there any recalls on this I could not find anything on it. You would think of something that is happening so often would have a fix for it.
 
I am not aware of this happening often. You are the first I've heard of with this issue.
No clue if it is still on the market but 50 years ago when I had a hole in my exhaust or crack in the muffler there was a repair kit to put around the hole or crack.
It was the size of duct tape, and you would mix a power in water and dip the tape in it before applying it to the hole or crack. It worked great for me at the time. I was just starting out and broke so this was a great option.

Actually I who's the wrong words oops, it was broke right where the bracket was on the pipe. Sorry for the confusion.

I have a 2014 x900. The muffler broke off of the exhaust pipe. I guess I was lucky. That was 1 of the very few times I purchased the extended warranty. I was within a couple of months of that expiring and the warranty covered the replacement exhaust system. I think Kubota made a change in the system which provided better mounting support. I don't remember if there was a recall for this problem or not. I do remember others here talking about the issue in the past as well as some various home remedies since they were out of warranty. At least 1 member did some welding repairs. I have not had any additional issues with the exhaust. If I took any photos, it would have been with a now old, no longer used phone.

Thanks for replies, I have to take it in for a check up anyway. Thanks for everyone to help.
 
This happens often, I welded my bracket and installed a piece of 3/16 silicone rubber between the mount and case to absorb the resonant vibration's. 6000 mile's later all is good.
