Information:
Changeover to modified yarn quality.
Since February 7, 2011 and as of the vehicle identification numbers specified under "Date of Introduction", different yarn has been used for the standard
equipment carpets and carpet-trimmed accessories.
The change affects the interior equipment colors Black, Stone Grey, Carrera Red, Sea Blue and Sand Beige.
The new yarn will also be used for interior equipment colors Natural Brown, Dark Grey Natural, Terracotta and Cocoa at a later stage. A new technical
bulletin will be released accordingly. Carpet and carpet-trimmed accessories manufactured using the modified yarn have a different surface structure
(Feel) and - depending on equipment color - have a slight variation in color than the previous material. As a result, if replacement carpet and/or
carpet-trimmed accessories are required from the specified date of introduction onwards, the previous carpet and/or carpet-trimmed accessories cannot
be used.
Spare Parts Requirements:
Parts manufactured using the modified yarn are not yet available at present for replacing carpet and carpet-trimmed accessories. In addition, carpet
and/or carpet-trimmed accessories that were installed before the specified date of introduction cannot be used to replace carpet and/or carpet-trimmed
accessories because of differences (different feel, color) compared with the modified yarn quality.
The following procedure applies for the time being:
If replacement carpet and/or carpet-trimmed accessories are required, order the parts using the "Special procurement" process or contact the Hotline.
You will also need to have the following details to hand:
- Vehicle identification number
- Part number + color code of the old carpet and/or carpet-trimmed accessories (= as a reference number since no new part numbers have been approved
as yet).
Carpet and/or carpet-trimmed accessories are still available for vehicles manufactured before the specified date of introduction.
Date of Introduction:
February 7, 2011 as of the vehicle identification numbers specified below and for interior equipment colors Black, Stone Grey, Carrera Red, Sea Blue
and Sand Beige.
