Detroit Diesel is offering a retrofit kit to owners of Series 60 Diesel engines produced between October 2002 and Nov. 31, 2003, Freightliner LLC President and CEO Rainer E. Schmueckle announced recently.

Chris Backeberg, Detroit Diesel’s vice president of marketing, said the retrofit kit replaces exhaust piping coming out of the manifold, the EGR cooler and the EGR cold pipe.

“These things do not effect engine performance at all,” Backeberg said.

He said not ever one of the Series 60 Detroits manufactured from October 2002 to Nov. 31, 2003, have the problem.

“But, if a driver does experience a problem we encourage them to contact a dealer or distributor in their area to schedule to have the retrofit kit installed.”

The retrofit kit will be installed as a warranty repair to engines meeting the manufacture date criteria and takes about five hours to conduct the installation
