Termination Date

Problem

Certain OR1207, 0R1223, 0R1224, and 0R1229 Remanufactured Crankshafts for use in 3412 Engines need to be removed from Parts Stock.

Action Required

Inspect the tag on all OR1207, 0R1223, 0R1224, and 0R1229 Remanufactured Crankshafts in dealer Parts Stock. If the tag is marked "CRANK A STD.", indicating that it is a standard size, no further action is required. Also, no further action is required if the date code is September 15, 1994 or after.

If the tag is marked "CRANK A .025" or "CRANK A .050" and it has a date prior to September 15, 1994, the crankshaft needs to be removed from Parts Stock.

NOTE: The part number tag attached to the outside of the box. The date code is printed just below the part name and above the part number in the following format - DDMMYYXXX. (Example: A box marked with a date code of 150994470 would indicate a part manufactured on September 15, 1994 at plant number 470.)
