PPC 267 Transition to Major Component
Effective July 1, 2011 all parts in the PPC 267 will be transitioned to Major Component status including part numbers released prior to 2011. The purpose of this change is to discourage dealer stocking of these turbochargers and cartridges, ensure rapid return of cores to sustain the remanufacturing program, and support availability of this product for all customers. In order to prevent entitlements from future purchases from attritioning before previous entitlements are consumed, existing open entitlements for PPC 267 parts will have the attrition date reset to reflect the major component entitlement period applicable for the dealer?s region on July 1st.For example: in regions where the major component entitlement period is 6 months existing open entitlements will be reset with an attrition date of January 1, 2012. If you have questions or concerns regarding this change please contact your core services representative to discuss your options.
