PROBLEM
Show/hide table
| The new connecting rods have mismatched caps and various other defects that may cause an engine failure. |
ACTION REQUIRED
Show/hide table
| Inspect all 0R-3037 and 0R-3285 Cylinder Packs, and 0R-0921 Connecting Rods in dealer parts stock with label date codes on the box prior to March 18, 2008. The inspected cylinder packs that have been assembled with new connecting rods need to removed from dealer parts stock. The 0R-0921 Connecting Rod packages that contain new parts instead of 0R-0921 parts need to be removed from dealer parts stock. NOTE: The label date code for the cylinder packs and connecting rods is located on the part number tag on the outside of the packing box. The date code appears as a DDMMYY code (ie. D18M03Y08 = March 18, 2008). 0R-3037 and 0R-3285 Cylinder Packs that are assembled with remanufactured 0R-0921 Connecting Rods may be used. The 0R-0921 remanufactured connecting rods that can be left in dealer parts stock will have the part number 0R-0921 etched into the rod cap. See photo. |
