REPLACE GLOW PLUGS
This service campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles (see VIN range below) the incorrect glow plugs
may have been inadvertently installed in customer vehicles during the last workshop visit due to an error in replacement part documentation. This may
result in poor engine performance.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart located below.
Included is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Prior to performing this Service Campaign:
-
Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
-
Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin.
Approximately 92 vehicles are affected.
Effective Serial Number Range
NOTE:
Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. VMI must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the
campaign is required on a specific vehicle. VMI always overrides the bulletin in reference to a specific vehicle's inclusion in a particular campaign.
Please also note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
