PROBLEM

Show/hide table

Certain Reman water pumps 0R0705 and 0R8766 with date code ranges beginning April 1, 2010 through August 20, 2010, were shipped with insufficient torque applied to the six cover bolts. A coolant leak could develop if the bolts are not properly tightened to the correct torque specification.

ACTION REQUIRED

Show/hide table

Inspect 0R0705 and 0R8766 water pumps in dealer parts stock.

Inspection / Rework Procedures:

1. Inspect the package date code on the outside of the water pump box. (Image 1) The first nine characters of the date code indicate the Day, Month, and Year. The last five digits (P68HL) indicate where the pump is sourced from. Determine if the date code falls in the range of D01M04Y10 thru D20M08Y10 (01 April 2010 thru 20 August 2010) and the plant code is P68HL.

- If the date code on the package IS in the date code range of D01M04Y10 thru D20M08Y10 (01 April 2010 thru 20 August 2010) and the plant code is P68HL, proceed to Step 2.

- If the date code on the package IS NOT in the date code range of D01M04Y10 thru D20M08Y10 (01 April 2010 thru 20 August 2010) and the plant code IS NOT P68HL, mark the package to indicate the part has been inspected according to PI7#### / REBE6473 and return the part to dealer parts stock. No further action required.

2. Remove the water pump from the packaging and tighten the six bolts that attach the cover plate to the pump (Image 2) to the torque of (17.7 +/- 3.34 N.m).

3. Return the water pump to the original packaging, mark the package to indicate the part has been inspected and reworked according to PI7#### / REBE6473, and return the part to dealer parts stock.
