Subject: Field Service Campaign 17M2-REV

GHG17 Heavy Duty Engine Platform Front Engine Lifter Bracket
Issue Involved
Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) has determined that some certified Model Year
2016 and 2017 GHG17 Heavy Duty Engine Platform engines will require the
replacement or installation of a new front engine lifter bracket. These engines are
installed exclusively in Freightliner® New Cascadia® vehicles.
The new front engine lifter bracket became effective with engines manufactured
after approximately May 31, 2017. Any model year 2016 or 2017 engine
manufactured between April 27, 2016, and May 31, 2017, installed in Freightliner®
New Cascadia® vehicles, and having the previous lifter bracket or no lifter bracket,
may need a new lifter bracket installed. Note that some trucks may already have
been repaired and will be excluded from this program.
Installation of the new lifter bracket may prevent failures of the previous lifter
bracket.
There are approximately 5,689 engines affected by this Field Service Campaign.
