PRIORITY - PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR 3E2026 SWITCH ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTIONS ON CERTAIN 16H AND 120H MOTOR GRADERS EQUIPPED WITH EU PACKAGE

MODELS INVOLVED - 12H and 16H Motor Graders

Dear Caterpillar Product Owner:

Machines with the European and Australian packages have a 6C0110 bulb for brake the lights instead of the standard LED package. These machines need to be taken to the Dealer for rework. This causes about 16 amps of inrush which welds the contacts together. The Dealer will refer to Special Instruction REHS4473-00 for instructions. You will not be charged for the service performed.

Contact your local Caterpillar dealer immediately to schedule this service. The dealer will advise you of the time required to complete this service.

Please refer the dealer to their Service Letter dated 08Jan2008 when scheduling this service.

We regret the inconvenience this may cause you, but urge you to have this service performed as soon as possible to prevent unscheduled downtime.

Caterpillar Inc.
