Service Information Letter SIL- 3255-A
JEMS High-Pressure Hose Inspection
Units Affected: Certain JEMS units mounted on FreightlinereBay logo M2 Plus chassis with L9 engines built
from January 2024 to May 2025. Verify your unit is affected by reviewing the attached list or accessing
Altec Connect.
Background: Altec has learned that the JEMS high-pressure air conditioning hose could be installed
incorrectly on affected units. This could result in a refrigerant leak and cause the air conditioning to stop
functioning. To address this, Altec has created A/C Repair Kits to install a replacement high-pressure hose.
Customer Action: Inspect the A/C high-pressure hose using the Inspection Procedure beginning on
page 2. Depending upon the results of this inspection, order and install one of the two JEMS A/C Repair
Kits, part number 992022713 or 992022741. Complete this inspection and repair, or contact Altec to
complete this work, by the next preventive maintenance cycle or within 90 days of receipt of this notice,
whichever comes first. Warranty for this repair expires August 11, 2028.
Subsequent damage due to failure to perform the required action(s) in the time period allowed will not be
covered by warranty.
Ask your service provider to check for any outstanding notices at your next appointment.
Requirements: The repair requires the A/C refrigerant to be discharged and recharged by a chassis
dealer or a certified mechanic. The inspection is estimated to take 30 minutes and 1 person to complete.
The repair is estimated to take 91/2 hours and 1 person to complete. An Altec technician can complete the
inspection, but not the repair.
Completion and Warranty: The inspection and repair are covered under the Altec Warranty Policy
until August 11, 2028 and can be performed by Altec, the customer, or the customer’s warranty provider.
An Altec technician is able to perform this inspection, but not the repair. Altec will perform the work for
free at an Altec facility by subletting through a chassis dealer, including transport between Altec and the
dealer. If the customer or the customer’s warranty provider performs the work, a warranty claim must be
submitted to be reimbursed for the cost of the parts and/or labor. Altec will allow up to $45.00 for the labor
to perform the inspection and up to $855.00 for the labor to perform the repair. Customers are responsible
for the travel costs of an Altec Mobile Service technician if the technician performs the inspection at the
owner’s location. Altec will cover the cost of transport to the chassis dealer or certified mechanic if the
final repair is inspected and verified by Altec Service.
