In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 18% of dealership population. This is an initial order recommendation only, and the ultimate responsibility for ordering the total number of parts needed to satisfy the program lies with the dealer. |
ACTION REQUIRED
1. Update the engine software with the proper software from the parts list (if available, a newer software version can be used). 2. Clean debris away from the 323-2205 and 323-2206 manifold fittings. 3. Remove the existing 323-2205 and 323-2206 filter fitting and replace with the improved 3538397/">353-8397 and 3538398/">353-8398 filter fitting. 4. Verify the proper torque on the newly installed fittings. Main connector, 3538398/">353-8398, to manifold = 18 Nm Pilot connector, 3538397/">353-8397, to manifold = 20 Nm Main fuel line to main connector, 3538398/">353-8398 = 26 Nm Pilot fuel line to pilot connector, 3538397/">353-8397 = 43 Nm NOTE: When working with fuel system components, extreme care should be taken to keep debris out of the system. System contamination may cause future system failures. NOTE: A system flush is not required when replacing these fittings. |

SERVICE CLAIM ALLOWANCES
0-48 mo |
NOTE: This is a 1.0-hour job | ||||||
This program is to pay only for updating the software and the installation of the filter fittings. Any other work being completed during the same visit is not to be claimed under this letter and should be administered under the normal claims process. The connectors/filters (323-2205, 323-2206) will not cause contingent damage to other parts after-failure; contingently damaged parts and labor will not be allowed to claim. If this letter is being applied in conjunction with either PS42851, PS42852, PS51635, or PS51637, this letter will only pay 0.5 hours labor for installation of the fittings. The software flash would be covered under the other service letter. An additional 2.6 hours will be allowed for Newell Coaches. |
