DIESEL ENGINE SERVICE DATA DATE : 25 Dec, 2023
1. Introduction
Regarding this issue, a recent service letter (SL2023-748) issued by MAN ES has reported the
use of counterfeit IC component in some MPCs manufactured by Norautron Suzhou Co., Ltd,
- one of the MPC manufacturers. It has reported that MPCs used this counterfeit component
works just as well as the original component but exhibits a higher failure rate when in operation.
In addition, this counterfeit component has been found to affect the terminals (J70 and J71)
which output signal to external devices. Since these terminals on the CCU (Cylinder Control
Unit) are used in some engine specifications to control FIVA (fuel injection timing and exhaust
valve opening/closing), it could cause cylinder cover lift due to excessive increment of
combustion pressure.
2. Items to be recalled
Items which used counterfeit component are MPC (Fig.1) and MPC10 (Fig.2) of Norautron
Suzhou Co., Ltd manufactured during July 2020 to October 2020 (week27 – week40). The item
used to HZME main engine is MPC only.
3. Countermeasures
We have already identified the malfunctioned lot of MPCs equipped to HZME manufactured
main engine and we have already notified the affected customers by letter prior to the issue of
this HSD about the recall and supply of substitution parts. Therefore, customers who have not
received our letter at the time of receipt of this HSD will not be subject to MPC recall.
Further, MPC/MPC10 supplied by our after-service department is not affected by this recall.
REMARKS:
B23107-2/2
4. Reference
As mentioned in the previous section, we will contact customers to whom we have supplied
MPCs which counterfeit component have been used, but customers can also check whether
there are any relevant items.
- The serial number on the attached document (SL2023-748) corresponds to the MPCs
which the counterfeit component has been used.
- Please check the serial number against the label on the MPC body. (Fig.3 and Fig.4)
The first alphabets (2 or 3 digits) of the serial number indicates the manufacturer's name,
and the following two digits indicate the year of manufacture.
If the first alphabets of the serial number are NAS, it indicates that the MPC was
manufactured by NorAutron Suzhou Co., Ltd. Further, if the following two digits is 20, it
indicates that the MPC was manufactured on FY2020.
Therefore, in case if the MPC serial number begins with NAS20, it may be subject to this
replacement matter.
