Certain 0R3023 camshaft kits were packaged with the incorrect camshaft. The 7E-9980 Camshaft is the correct camshaft for the 0R3023 Camshaft Kit. Failure to replace this camshaft will result in an engine failure.
ACTION REQUIRED

Inspection Procedures:
1. Inspect the package date code label on the outside of the box of the 0R3023 camshaft kit. (Image1) The first nine characters of the date code indicate the Day, Month, and Year. Determine if the date code falls in the range of D28M07Y10 through D31M08Y10 (28 July 2010 thru 31 August 2010).
- If the date code on the package IS NOT in the date code range of D28M07Y10 through D31M08Y10, mark the package to indicate it has been inspected according to this program (PI7#### / REBE6643), and return the part to dealer parts stock. No further action is required.
- If the date code on the package IS in the date code range of D28M07Y10 through D31M08Y10, proceed to Step 2.
2. Inspect the camshaft in the kit to verify it is a 7E-9980 Camshaft.
- If the camshaft in the kit IS NOT a 7E-9980 Camshaft, remove the camshaft kit from dealer parts stock.
- If the camshaft in the kit IS a 7E-9980 Camshaft, return the camshaft to the original packaging, mark the package to indicate it has been inspected according to this program (PI7#### / REBE6643), and return the part to dealer parts stock. No further action is required.
