Technical Service Bulletin 10 Engine replacement, checking for debris lodged in transferred assemblies 10 15 11 2018288/5 March 17, 2015. Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 10 number 13-10 dated September 5, 2013 for reasons listed below. Model(s) Year VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment All 1998 - 2016 All Not Applicable Condition REVISION HISTORY Revision Date Purpose 5 - Revised header data (Added model years) 4 9/5/2013 Revised header data (Added model years) 3 9/14/2010 Revised header data (Added models and MYs) Revised Technical Background and Service (Added supercharger) 2 11/20/2008 Revised title to include Repair Group Prior to engine replacement, any debris lodged in transferred assemblies must be removed. Technical Background If the engine experienced a serious mechanical problem, it is possible that small pieces of metal debris resulting from the mechanical problem may have become deposited in the intake manifold, air intake hoses, exhaust manifolds, exhaust down-pipes, turbocharger, supercharger, and/or intercooler. Note: If these metal debris pieces are not removed prior to the installation and operation of the replacement engine, they could be drawn into the combustion chamber, which can cause a knocking noise and subsequent serious engine damage.

Technical Service Bulletin Service Prior to installation of replacement engines, thoroughly inspect and clean the intake manifold, air intake hoses, exhaust manifold, exhaust downpipes, turbocharger, supercharger, and intercooler. This inspection is especially important on engines with two stage or variable intake manifolds, which must be checked internally for any signs of debris. • If any debris is evident in the intake manifold or cylinder heads ports, replace the manifold, as cleaning of the internal intake paths cannot be 100% guaranteed. Debris can be lodged in the inner parts of the manifold until the manifold changes intake lengths. The debris may loosen and travel into the replacement engine. • Not every engine replacement will require a new intake manifold. The decision to replace the intake manifold depends on the extent of mechanical damage. Tip: Engine damage caused by failure to clean debris from assemblies that are transferred to a replacement engine is not covered by Warranty.
