ISSUE
A high number of high pressure Rexroth pumps and Injection Pressure Regulators (IPR) are being replaced due to oil leaking, when all that is required is
a new gasket or seal on either the pump or IPR.
ACTION
If a suspected oil leak is being observed from either component, replace the pump gasket with new gaskets. Pump or IPR replacement is not appropriate
for an oil leak. Any pumps and/or IPR's returned must have location of oil leak noted on the diagnostic form which must accompany the returned part.
Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for specific details.
NOTE
HIGH PRESSURE PUMPS RETURNED FOR OIL LEAKS THAT ARE FOUND TO BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WILL BE RETURNED
AND CHARGED BACK FOR WARRANTY.
