Tsb

cpiercecf · 05-04-2007, 09:48 AM

I just read on another forum about a TSB relating to the spark plugs. I guess there was a recall and they were changing the plug size and from 13 to 18lb ft. The cars that were affected were vin# t000001 thru t006983. It was posted in Nov. of 02 but I was wondering if I should call about my 02 because it falls in that vin range or should it have been taken care of since it has been so long?

The didn't change the size of the plugs, they changed the torque setting that holds them in. The original specs called for 13 lb. of tq. when installing the plugs. The TSB changed it to 18 lbs. When you took the car in to the dealership, they would retorque your plugs to the correct setting and put a sticker inyour manual covering the old specs with the new ones. You can do all of that yourself if you want to.
