Default Re: Transfer Case Officially Recalled

I found this reply from "issue9mm" on page 57 of this thread I thought it might be usefull.

type in or cut paste the NHTSA address in your browser
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/p...lls/results.cfm
enter your vehicle info and it will display the recalls for your vehicle althought I did not see the seat belt recall it did list the TC and Break line hydraulic recall for my 94 VR4.

note: after your browser displays the recalls for your vehicle note the "document search" click box at the bottom of the specific recall, good information there in pdf format. Specifically number 4 on that document list is "RCRIT-02V143-3232.PDF -- Remedy Instructions and TSB ( 2393.29 KB). Notice the dicrepancy between "repair summary" where it states if 1) TC is not leaking replace fluid 2) If leaking reseal 3) if case is cracked or internal gear damage replace TC. the discrepancy is under "Procedures" step 2 states "if you are replacing the TC case because of damage wear or binding" My question is how can they determine if the TC is damaged worn or binding unless it is disassembled ? Hummm ... looks like a contention for replacement could be if its worn, guys Im not a lawyer but there seems to be something here that you might be able to use to leverage the service manager to see it your way.

Thanks issue9mm for your initial post

Call this old news if you like, but I searched and didn't see it posted anywhere... the recall number for the transfer case issue is 02V143001.

I found this information at the following NHTSA link:
