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 mfta_service@daimler.com. IMPORTANT! Failure to properly scrap an engine assembly and notify MFTA may result in claim chargeback.

If the vehicle is within warranty coverage, and the damage is severe enough to question whether an engine repair is the most economical solution, the dealer must open a Technical Assistance Request (TAR) and submit a 4P10 repair cost comparison worksheet. The Technical Support Center will review the worksheet and the information outlined for 4P10 engine failures in SIB 19-005, and will provide repair guidance accordingly. The worksheet is located in the TSC Resource Center under 4P10 Cost Simulator for repair vs replacement, and under Service-Publications-Service Forms-MFTA-4P10WS. Please note that MFTA supplies large engine components such as cylinder blocks, short engine assemblies, etc. for 4P10 engine repairs when a complete engine assembly replacement is not essential.
