While verification of the part number and date code are necessary to determine if
the valve is a part of the campaign, there are two identifiers that can be checked
to determine that the valve is not a part of the campaign. These steps may not
require removal of the valve from the vehicle. Identification Tag
1. The TR-3 valve covered by this recall should have an identification tag (being removed)
with “SPECIAL TR-3 REPLACE WITH 101450” stamped into it. This tag
may need to be removed from the valve if the view is obstructed. All other part
numbers referenced are not a part of the campaign
Under the identification tag is the valve casting date code wheel. Only
body castings with a number 13 in the center are a suspect valve. Valve
bodies that have a number other than 13 are not a part of the campaign.
The valves that are suspect must be removed to verify the part number and
the date of manufacture — stamped into the supply port cap nut. To view this
information the valve cap nut area must be cleaned of paint and debris To verify
the date code see Interpreting the Date Code below.
