Component Code(s) 7308, 7310SUBJECT: The Welds that join the corners of the window frames may crack on certain G series Small Track Type Tractors
PROBLEM:
There have been reports of failures of the aluminum frames for the left and right sliding cab windows (212-4211 and 212-4212) on G series Small Track Type Tractors. The welds in the corners of these frames have come apart. This problem may be more widespread than indicated by the failure data and it seems that some dealers are not reporting these failures.
SOLUTION:
To help us fix this problem, we need the dealers to report all failures of these windows in SIMS. There is a Parts Return Request on these windows. Please send the failed window frames as stated in the PRR (#14656). Replace failed parts with like parts.
