AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles which require this campaign to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in AIR, AWP,
Campaign Summary, or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry.
Please make sure you check your dealer inventory as soon as possible. You can see a list of affected vehicles in
Inventory Campaign Details (ICD) under ROSS.

SITUATION
The return springs on the exhaust camshaft followers (switchable rocker arm) may break.

PROCEDURE
Read this entire Bulletin before starting any repairs.
Check the vehicle history for engine or cylinder head replacement. If the engine or cylinder has been
replaced, then the campaign can be cleared. Refer to the Claim Information section.
If the vehicle history does not show any of the above repairs, replace all 12 exhaust camshaft followers.
Refer to Repair Instruction 11 33 055 “Remove and install/replace switchable cam follower on the exhaust
side.”
Important Repair Information
1. The Repair Instruction 11 33 055 currently states to remove both intake and exhaust VANOS central bolts. It is not
necessary to remove and replace the “intake VANOS central bolt,” only remove and replace the “exhaust VANOS
central bolt.”
2. The current repair instructions may state to replace the “VANOS gears.” Please do not replace the VANOS gears.

Both of these errors will be corrected in a future ISTA release.

If any broken or missing parts are identified in the valvetrain (includes
all valvetrain components) please create a TSARA TC case before
continuing with this bulletin.

Important ISTA Repair Instruction Supplements:
1. When removing the ignition coils and the fuel injectors from the engine, number them with the cylinder in which
they came from and reinstall them back in the same location.
2, Before reinstalling the cylinder head cover, check the camshaft timing using the applicable tools and repair
instructions.
The crankshaft must be pinned/locked with special tool 2 288 380.
Both camshaft adjusters (VANOS gears) must be locked with special tool 5 A53 587.
The timing chain must be pretensioned using special tool 2 455 654 to ensure the timing chain is installed
correctly. Refer to Repair Instruction 11 31 005 “Adjusting the timing of the camshafts”, see step 8. This center
button the special tool will identify if the chain is correctly tensioned, over- slackened or over-tensioned.
Check the camshaft position using the test gauge special tool 5 A7A 5B9 and basic carrier special tool 5 A4D
A16.
If the cylinder head cover gasket is not damaged, it can be reused.
If the high pressure pump gasket is not damaged, it can be reused.
Repair and Tool Hints:

Cylinder 6 intermediate lever may interfere
when trying to install the intake camshaft timing
tools.
Place the variable valve timing (VVT) motor in
minimum lift before installing the camshaft
timing tools.
Use a 4 mm Allen socket (1) and a ratchet (2)
to turn the VVT motor counter clockwise until it
stops at the minimum lift end stop.

Tool 83 30 5 A53 587 may bind when removing
it from both of the VANOS adjusters, the plastic
washer (1) may be binding the tool and will not
allow it to collapse when the screw is
loosened.
Using a fine metal file, reduce the outside
diameter of the plastic washer by approximately
1 mm to avoid this interference.
Removing the washer entirely could result in
the screw and wedge falling into the engine, the
washer avoids loosening the screw too much.
