SUBJECT:
Destruction and scrapping of engine assemblies replaced under warranty
MODELS:
FEC52, FEC72, FEC92, FGB72, FEC7T, FECZT, FEC9T
DESCRIPTION:
Engines replaced under warranty must be held for 60 days from claim payment, unless otherwise instructed to return
the engine to MFTA or one of its suppliers.
At the conclusion of the 60-day warranty retention period, in order to ensure that engines comply with current US EPA
regulations, we ask that you follow the procedures outlined on the following pages to ensure that the engine block is
damaged and rendered useless for repair or remanufacturing.
The Environmental Protection Agency, in regulation 40 C.F.R. § 1068.240(b)(3), requires manufacturers to “…destroy
the old engine block (or confirm that it has been destroyed)…” so that prevention of the engine from re-entering
commerce is guaranteed.
After the engine is destroyed, take a photo of the damaged portion and the engine serial # and email them to MFTA
with your Dealer Code, the VIN and the Engine Serial # in the header of the email. Send the email to
[email protected].
IMPORTANT! Failure to properly scrap an engine assembly and notify MFTA may result in claim chargeback.
