Problem
The tracks on certain D8N Tractors may develop dry joints before an acceptable service life has been achieved. Caterpillar will participate to assure acceptable track joint performance as long as certain guidelines and criteria are met. This program is intended to address dealer and user concerns for failures on machines operating in normal applications, equipped with proper track shoes, and not being abused.
Affected Product
Model Identification Number D8N 9TC1-UP PARTICIPATION EXCLUSIONS 1. No participation will be considered by Caterpillar unless, at the first repair, a permanent serial number uniquely identifying the track is stamped or welded on the second full right-hand link from the pin end of the master link. Dealer may use any numbering system up to eight characters to identify the track. For example, KEMCL100 or KC1. See the Illustration. If possible, dealer should use the factory serial number stamped on the second full righthand link from the pin end of the master link. Caterpillar prefers this number since it identifies the production date of the track. The serial number must be included in the comments section of each claim. ****** IMAGE: SEBE4208.00001.001 CAPTION: 2.
