Field Strategy:
1. Upon removal of the MTM for inspection from an Active or Inactive Rail B or
Rail C Fault noted in the issue description above, or sealing O-ring is
protruding, the MTM must be replaced.
2. For MTM serial number less than 12S19248145012,
o If the MTM is removed for another failure and any loose rail cap screws
are found (no Active or Inactive rail MTM faults) or the sealing O-ring is
not protruding, reference the RRMT0037 Service Procedure. If there are
Active or Inactive codes for any MTM faults other than those listed in the
issue description, follow the troubleshooting guide.
Note: RRMT0037 Service Procedure is available in the July 2021
Edition of the Endurant Service Manual (TRSM0950).
o If torque specifications outlined in the service procedure cannot be met
(threads in MTM are stripped) the MTM must be replaced.
3. Pictures of loose cap screws, position, and MTM serial number shall be
documented in the warranty claim.
