PROBLEM
The existing 348-3402 ARD Head can develop an internal short and cause the heater to not function on certain 349E Excavators, and 980K Wheel Loaders. If the heater fails to turn on and clean the ARD head, it will begin to develop soot deposits on the nozzle and may cause failed DPF regenerations. |

In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 8% 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
Replace the 348-3402 ARD Head with the improved 20R-3536 ARD Head. The new ARD head has an improved seal to prevent heater shorting. Note: Clamping the coolant lines off prior to removing the ARD head prevents large coolant loss. After the repair is complete monitor the coolant level in the shunt tank and top off if necessary. Update to latest engine control software which also has regen and heater cycle improvements included. |
