Dear Cat Product Owner:
The engine lifting eyes need to be inspected on the products listed below. The existing lifting eye dowel pin holes could have been manufactured oversized. The oversized holes can allow the press fit pin to slide out of position. Please note that an out of position lifting eye pin may result in a reduced lifting ability and may, in conjunction with other factors or circumstances, result in a risk of personal injury or death. You will not be charged for the service performed.
Contact your local Cat dealer immediately to schedule this service. The dealer will advise you of the time required to complete this service.
If you are no longer the owner of this product(s), please contact your local Cat dealer so that our records can be updated.
You may now search for open Safety Service Letters by entering your product serial number(s). Visit the CAT.COM/SAFETY website and click on SUPPORT, then SAFETY SERVICES for more information. Please refer the dealer to their Service Letter dated 28Sep2017 when scheduling this service.
We regret the inconvenience this may cause you, and urge you to have this service performed for your safety and satisfaction.
