As a result of this obsolescence, the cores for the AD-4 air dryer, cartridge, and end cover will only be accepted
for credit, through April 30, 2012 (must be shipped by April 15th, 2012). Credit will be given to those customers
who have current outstanding AD-4 core obligations for the following core items:
Core Core
Description Group Class
AD-4 Cartridge 4 65
AD-4 End Cover 6 67
AD-4 Air Dryer 9 11

For customers with AD-4 core return eligibility, (cores that are owed to Bendix) only those cores that are eligible will
be accepted. Customers who do not currently have AD-4 core return eligibility can not return AD-4 cores for credit
under the standard core program.
After April 30, AD-4 air dryer cores will only be accepted under the Bendix® Air Dryer Upgrade Program. Per
the specifications of this program (reference BW2434), all cores returned must have the orange changeover tag
(BW1829) attached to receive core credit. Note that this program only covers air dryer assemblies and does not
include the cartridge or end cover.

SHIPPING OF CORES
As a reminder, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC (Bendix) pays the freight for core shipments of 500 pounds
or more, contingent upon the customer using our preferred freight carrier. Customers were previously contacted
by Ryder – the core shipping logistics company contracted by Bendix for the core return program – regarding the
preferred carrier for their region. Note that Ryder handles the logistics and does not ship the core returns. If the
preferred freight carrier is unknown, refer to the information below.
Log into www.bendix.biz. The Cores Section (where you access your core report) contains two files. The first file
is the North America Core Return Map and the second file is the Canadian Core Return Map. These maps list the
carriers by state or province. For additional assistance contact Kelly at 260-355-4307 (if Kelly is not available, call
Ryder at 877-681-1949).
Thanks for your cooperation.
