Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.01

SERVICE

WARRANTY BULLETIN Global

General Guidelines

Warranty Philosophy
Overview
This bulletin explains basic warranty practices, identifies the responsibilities of each participant, and clarifies the
difference between warranty and goodwill.

What is Warranty?
Caterpillar Warranty is Caterpillar’s legal commitment to provide customer protection for product/part defects
in Caterpillar material and workmanship during a specified period of time or product usage through the Cat®
dealer. A manufacturer cannot void or cancel their product warranty.
Caterpillar Warranty has legally binding commitments and limitations outlined in a legal document called a
Warranty Statement. Caterpillar’s Warranty Statements may be found at https://warranty.cat.com/currstmts.

What is a Warranty Repair?


A warranty repair restores the product to its operating condition just prior to the failure by repairing and/or
replacing the defective part and the resultant damaged Cat parts needed to correct the defect. A warranty
repair is not intended to restore the product to a like-new condition.

• Defective Part - is the Cat part that caused the failure.


• Resultant Damaged Cat Parts - are the Cat parts that were damaged as a result of the failure of the
defective part.

Warranty Statement Disclaimer


All Warranty Statements include a Disclaimer emphasizing two key points:
1. Warranty does not cover incidental damages, or damages to property resulting from the failure.
2. Warranty does not cover consequential damages, or other damages, notably loss of profit or use, as a
consequence of the failure.
For example: A Cat fan blade failed and damaged the radiator. Caterpillar’s Warranty will provide for
replacement of the defective fan blade and the resultant damaged Cat parts. Caterpillar Warranty does NOT
cover the damage to parts made by manufacturers other than Caterpillar, or the loss of profit due to
downtime (consequential damage).

Dealer and Dealers are defined as any Cat Authorized Dealer or Cat Authorized Repair Representative.

1
Bulletin No. 1.01 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Administering Warranty
The dealer administers Caterpillar Warranty and has the following responsibilities:
• Determining whether a Caterpillar defect in factory material or workmanship caused the failure.
• Determining if the failure is covered by warranty, and if so, what expenses are covered.
• Determining the most economical method of repair.
• Making the repair settlement with the customer at the close of the repair.
• Submitting a claim to Caterpillar for monetary reimbursement after the customer settlement is made.
Dealers have all the facts about the failure including:
• All the parts involved in the failure.
• The failure analysis data.
• The repair documentation.
• Any previous failure information.
• Who the customer is and the intended application.
• The product operating conditions.
• The customer/operator practices.
Note: The dealer administers the manufacturer’s warranty to the customer per the terms and conditions
outlined in the Warranty Statement. Caterpillar reimburses the dealer per the terms and conditions outlined in
the Warranty Bulletins. Reimbursement from Caterpillar to the dealer may differ from the settlement between
the dealer and the customer.

➤ Responsibility
The merchandising of Cat products involves three parties: the manufacturer (Caterpillar), the dealer, and the
customer. Each party has specific individual responsibilities impacting warranty. Examples are as follows:
The manufacturer, is responsible for:
• Standing behind the Warranty obligation.
• Initiating product improvements.
The dealer is responsible for:
• Selling products within the limits of intended capacity and application.
• Delivering products in good initial adjustment.
• Instructing customers on proper operation and maintenance.
• Identifying and reporting the cause of failure to Caterpillar.
• Administering Caterpillar Warranty.
The customer is responsible for:
• Operating the product properly and within the limits of intended capacity and application.
• Fueling, lubricating, adjusting, operating, and maintaining the equipment as instructed by the dealer and
in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the
Operation and Maintenance Manual and other applicable service literature.
• Notifying the dealer promptly if a problem exists.
• Giving timely notice of a problem.
• Promptly making the product available to the dealer for warranty repairs and product improvement
programs.

Goodwill
Goodwill is not warranty and the philosophy for goodwill is managed by the Caterpillar Service Technical
Representative. Any questions regarding goodwill should be directed to the appropriate Service Tech Rep.

General Guidelines

Repair Expenses
Overview
This bulletin provides repair expense information. To determine which expenses are reimbursable, refer to
the Dealer Reimbursement Sections and Summary of Reimbursement Chart(s) in the product specific bulletin.
Contents of the applicable bulletins take precedence over information in this document.

Parts
Parts needed to complete the warranty repair, including gaskets, seals, salvage materials and any resultant
damaged Cat® parts may be claimed. These parts may be Cat new or Reman and are priced based on the date of
the repair. If more economical, the dealer may salvage a damaged part or repair an assembled component rather
than replace it. Refer to bulletin 1.15 for additional information.
Components and parts replaced under the original product warranty period are covered for the remainder of the
original product warranty period.
When Cat parts are serviced, substitute parts from sources other than Caterpillar are not considered for Caterpillar
warranty. When Caterpillar does not service a part but it must be used in the repair, the part may be claimed at
the dealer’s acquisition price.
Note: When a Reman part or a part contained within a Reman Kit (ex. overhaul kit) is the cause of a failure, then
the Reman part number should be used when filing a claim as either the part causing failure or the group number.
The lowest serviceable level part number should be used as the part causing failure and the next higher level group
number should be used in the group number field. If the Reman part number is the lowest serviceable level, the
Reman part number should be used as the Part Causing Failure. If a Reman part number is not the part causing
failure, enter the next higher level Reman group number in the group number field. If the Reman part number or
group number needs to be added to the Equate Table because it is invalid, please open a new SR in PSCRM by
selecting the following inquiry type: SIMS updates (Other than Principle Work Code and Delivery Date requests).
https://warranty.cat.com/en/need-assistance.html
Parts Reimbursement Levels/Parts Costs
Reimbursement levels for warranty repairs differ based on industry, product and policy requirements. The basic
definitions for these levels are listed below. Refer to the respective bulletins to determine which level is applied for
each product.
Dealer Net (N): The part’s acquisition price determined by Caterpillar.
Markup (M): The replacement for traditional Consumer List price, intended to provide reimbursement above Dealer Net.

Bulletin No. 1.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Suggested Consumer Price (L): Market-based price used by dealers as a pricing guideline for parts sold to end
user customers established within the defined pricing zones.
Scrap Parts
If no Parts Return Request is received in the 30-day hold period, the removed warranty claim parts should be
rendered useless and scrapped by the dealer, unless another disposition has been authorized by Caterpillar. Such
parts may not be used or sold (except as scrap) without the agreement of Caterpillar.
Note: Dealers should comply with local laws and regulations for scrapping and disposal of any hazardous material.
Emergency Orders For Reman Parts Not-In-Stock
For an emergency Class W Parts Order (warranty with product down) of a Reman part not in stock, the equivalent
new part is shipped and invoiced at the Reman price, plus the standard core charge. This practice is not applicable
for major components (e.g. engines, transmissions). When filing a claim, the part number of the ordered Reman
part/component must be listed on the Expense Detail line.
Parts Service Charges
Service charges are fees for parts obtained on an emergency order, and are a percentage of the Dealer Net (D/N)
price. The Part percentages are published in the Parts Gram at:
https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/parts/partsgrams.html and are as follows:
• 0 % for slow moving parts
• 2% as defined in Regional Parts Grams Exception Items
• 5 % for medium moving parts
• 8 % for fast moving parts
Service/Maintenance Items
Service/Maintenance items include oil, coolant, hydraulic fluids, filters, spark plugs, belts and/or other items listed in
the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Service items replaced in the normal course of the repair or inspection, are
not reimbursable. Service items unusable due to loss or contamination resulting from a warrantable failure may be
reimbursed.
Note: When the full package quantity of engine oil, hydraulic oil, and/or coolant is used, it must be claimed as a
Parts Expense using the Caterpillar part number. If the Caterpillar part number or pricing is not available, the fluids
must be claimed as a Miscellaneous Expense. If the full package quantity of fluid is not used, claim the actual
amount used as a Miscellaneous Expense.
Shop Supplies
Shop supplies are general consumables used during the warranty repair. Examples may include the following:
shop towels, welding rod, wire ties, gasket maker, sealants, solvents, adhesives, primers, paint*, assembly
lubricants, anti-seize compounds, buffing discs and pads, and emery cloths. Shop supplies are not reimbursable
if they are included in the dealer’s labor rate.
*Note: Refer to Warranty Bulletins 2.01 and 3.01 for information on paint repairs.

Labor
Repair Labor
Repair labor includes time to inspect, test, diagnose, remove, disassemble, clean, assemble and install components/
parts to complete a warranty repair. Labor is reimbursed at the approved labor rate on file with Caterpillar at the
time of the repair. Refer to Bulletin 1.05 for additional information.
Labor hours are found in the applicable Labor Guidelines: Time Requirement Guideline (TRG), Machine
Labor Guideline (MLG) or Earthmoving Repair Labor Guideline (ERLG). These guidelines are available
at https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/service/trg.html. In cases where no published times exist, a detailed labor
breakdown of segmented actual reasonable times must be claimed using applicable SMCS codes in order
to identify labor operations performed. Refer to Warranty Bulletin 1.09.
Parts Salvage Labor
Parts salvage labor is the time to perform salvage operations, such as machining, cutting, burning, trimming,

2 01.02-21 (05/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.02

bending, heating, welding, etc. It does not include labor to disassemble and assemble the part or component
associated with performing the salvage operation (i.e. the cutting off and welding on of bucket edges or other GET
/ Work Tool components). Salvaging a part may be considered if the Cat part can be satisfactorily repaired and
the cost does not exceed 50% of the D/N price for a new part or Reman (if available).
Salvage labor should be claimed as a miscellaneous item.
Overtime Labor
There is no overtime labor rate. Labor is reimbursed at the applicable labor rate on file. If labor is performed after
normal working hours, the labor hours may be claimed as part of the overall repair hours.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is time claimed for conducting tests to determine the failure such as injector cutout test, bottle test for
cylinder head failures, etc. Troubleshooting time does not include the following: removal and installation, disassembly
and assembly, Applied Failure Analysis reporting, communications with a TC, or waiting for information to proceed.

Outside Repair Expenses (Sublet)


An outside repair or sublet is when a dealer hires another company to perform a repair or service. Examples may include
parts and/or labor for machining, cylinder head milling, radiator repair, and generator rewinding from an outside vendor.
Repairs should not exceed 50% of the D/N for a new part or Reman (if available).
Travel time and mileage expenses cannot be included or associated with sublet repair costs.
Invoice charges should not exceed Caterpillar’s consumer list price for parts and labor repair time should not exceed the
applicable TRG, MLG, and/or ERLG. Labor rates should also be in line with the local dealer’s labor rates.
This also applies when a Cat dealer performs a sublet warranty repair for a TEPS or ASSC dealer.

Component Serial Number


Major components and subcomponents on Cat products may have unique identifying information such as a component
serial number, a sequence number, a date code, etc. Caterpillar engineers and suppliers use this component information
to identify and resolve product problems. To assist in this process, it is important for dealers to capture this information
during the repair. It is recommended and in some cases required, to include this identifying information in the claim.
• Enter the major component serial number in the component serial number field in the claim.
• Additional component serial numbers can be added to the Claim Story.
• Enter LH or RH component location in the Claim Story.
NOTE: Refer to respective bulletins for additional claiming information.

Travel Time & Mileage


Travel time is the time required to travel to the customer location and the next destination, if not returning to the
dealer branch store. Mileage is the distance traveled. Generally, travel time and mileage is the distance from the
nearest authorized dealer branch store to the job site.

Meals & Lodging


Meals and lodging for the technician performing the field service repair may be reimbursed at the dealer’s actual
cost, if more economical than traveling to return the following day.

Hauling/Towing Costs
Costs associated with hauling or towing a product to a Caterpillar authorized repair facility. If claiming for hauling
or towing costs, the amount should be less than the cost of a technician’s travel time and mileage.

Equipment Use Fees


Equipment use fees are additional charges associated with the use of equipment for testing and/or repairing Cat
products. Examples may include chassis dyno use fees, boroscope use fees, vibration analysis equipment fees,
crane rental, etc. These expenses are generally not reimbursed.

01.02-21 (05/19) 3
Bulletin No. 1.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Freight Charges
Freight from a Caterpillar facility to the dealer is included in the parts price or the Transportation and Import
(T&I) adjustment factor and is not claimable as a separate expense. Dealer shuttle service expenses between a
Caterpillar Parts Distribution Center and the dealer or between dealer stores is not reimbursable. Exceptions may
apply in the following situations:
 Emergency charges
 Premium freight
 Special handling charges
Refer to the product specific bulletin (2.01 for machines, 3.01 for engines, etc.) for additional information.

Preventive Repairs
Preventive repairs for situations that don’t present an identified defect in material and/or workmanship cannot
be claimed as warranty. Availability of improved parts, Caterpillar recommendations and publications, such as
Technical Information Bulletins and Service Magazines, are not justifications for warranty reimbursement.

Extended Operation
Extended operation is continuing to operate the product after awareness of a possible failure. Such awareness
may include fault indicators, fault codes, abnormal sound and/or operation. Damage resulting from extended
operation is not reimbursable.

Resold or Transferred Products


When a machine, engine, or component moves outside the selling dealer’s territory during the warranty coverage
period, the selling dealer is responsible for the coverage costs. When a covered repair is performed by a dealer
other than the selling dealer, the repairing Cat dealer must submit the coverage reimbursement claim to Caterpillar.
Expenses not reimbursed by Caterpillar should be settled between the two dealers.
➤ Remote Services
Remote Troubleshoot:
Caterpillar offers the ability for dealers to remotely troubleshoot certain products. For Remote Troubleshoot, there
is a data fee charged to the dealer. For warranty repairs, the remote data fee is reimbursable as part of the overall
warranty repair, if justified. Dealers should use miscellaneous code REMOTE for this charge. To be eligible for
warranty reimbursement, remote troubleshooting must be directly related to the warranty repair and explained in
the claim story. Any labor associated with troubleshooting (remote or in person) must follow the reimbursement
guidelines within product specific warranty bulletins.

Remote Flash:
Caterpillar offers the ability for dealers to flash software remotely for certain products. For Remote Flash, there may
be a data fee charged to the dealer per occurrence. General software updates are not considered to be factory
defects and the costs associated with updating software are not eligible for warranty reimbursement.

If there is an identified warrantable defect, and the solution to the defect is to install new software, then the data fee
is reimbursable as part of the overall warranty repair, if justified. Dealers should use miscellaneous code REMOTE
for this charge and explain in the claim story.

Note: Dealers must retain all supporting documentation showing the amount charged by Caterpillar for the remote
data fee.

Transportation and Importation Charges

Transportation and Importation (T&I) charges adjust parts credit from the dealer’s net price to an average landed
cost. The adjustment is dependent on the dealer’s parts pricing terms (e.g. if parts pricing terms are delivered
duty paid - DDP, then no adjustment to a landed cost should needed). T&I charges, when applicable, are
allowed.
Charges include:
• Surface freight
• Non-reimbursable customs duties
• Taxes
• Inland freight to the dealer
The Caterpillar Service Claims System applies T&I charges to parts expenses when pricing information is
available in the Parts Pricing System.
For situations where there is no pricing information available and T&I charges are applicable, utilize the
miscellaneous line MISCTI to claim them (refer to bulletin 1.27). Contact your Parts or Service Operations Rep
for the applicable T&I factor. Examples driving the use of miscellaneous lines for part expenses include:
• Design to Order – DTO
• No Cat part numbers available
The following are not included under T&I charges:
• Emergency charges
• Premium freight
• Special handling charges
For reimbursement practices on the items listed above please consult bulletin 1.02, freight section.
Contact your Parts or Service Operations Representative for further information or with requests to update the
T&I factor.

Labor, Travel & Vehicle Rates

Overview
For Caterpillar to correctly reimburse warranty labor expenses, dealers are required to annually report their
warranty labor rates to Caterpillar.
Note: Olympian Warranty Labor Rates and Vocational On-highway Truck Labor Rates are set per contract
agreements, not requested through the Warranty Labor Rate Change Request. Contact your Industry Technical
Representative for additional information.

Labor Rate Requirements


Labor rates must be submitted, approved, and put into effect only once per calendar year, even if the rate is
not changing. Warranty Labor Rate Change Requests must be submitted using the online tool at
https://warrantyadmin.cat.com. The request must include the proposed labor rate and an explanation
justifying the request. The calculations must result from data collected 12 months just prior to the submission
date. The submitter must also identify the Service Operations Representative (SOR) and Caterpillar District
Manager. Once the labor rates are reviewed and approved by both parties, an email confirmation of the
status is sent to the dealer. Concurrently, the request is automatically forwarded to Global Warranty for final
approval and system entry.
Note: All labor rate requests must be received by Global Warranty at least 30 days prior to the proposed effective date.
The effective date of the labor rate is when the Caterpillar Service Claim System begins using the new labor
rates. The new labor rates will be applied to all claims submitted with a repair date on or after the effective date.
Labor rates with an effective date in the previous year will expire December 31 of the current year.
For example, dealer A999 has an effective date of February 14, 2012. The labor rate expires on
December 31, 2013, if a labor rate is not put on file in 2013.
Note: Any exceptions for revising a rate within the same calendar year requires District Manager and Global
Warranty approval.
The dealer is required to keep the completed signed copy of the request form until the labor rate is superseded by a
new approved labor rate. All documentation supporting the source/method used for determining the data submitted in
the labor rate change request must be kept on file and available for review during an audit or the approval process.
Additional instructions for using the online labor rate tool are available on the Resources page of the Global
Warranty website at https://warranty.cat.com/en/resources0.html.

Expired Labor Rates


Effective July 1, 2016, if a claim requesting labor, travel, and/or vehicle reimbursement is submitted and the labor
rate corresponding to the claim repair date is expired or not valid, the claim will not be accepted by the system.
When updating expired labor rates, the new labor rate is effective on the date requested or the date entered
into the system, whichever is later. Once the effective date of the new labor rate is approved and entered by
Caterpillar, the expired labor rate is extended to the date of the new labor rate.

Market Based Labor Rates


To maintain consistent labor reimbursement, the labor rate is set by the marketplace based on the rate a
customer is charged in the regular course of business. This rate should reflect the dealer’s posted or advertised
labor rate. Shop supplies and hazardous waste disposal fees should be removed from the posted or advertised
labor rates, as these are calculated separately.

Required Labor Rates


The Labor Rate Tool currently supports the following market-based labor rates:
Required Labor Rates
 Earthmoving (machine)
• Commercial Engine
Other Market Rates
 Truck Engine
• Compact Machines
• Mining
Industrial Engines
 Marine Engines (Prime & Auxiliary Power)
 Electric Power (Includes UPS, Switchgears, Generators, Power Modules)
 Oil and Gas (Petroleum) Engines (Prime & Auxiliary Power)
 Railway Engines (Prime & Auxiliary Power)
3600 Engines (All applications)
ES - EPG Systems Premium

Machines: Earthmoving, Vocational Truck and Compact Machine labor rates are assigned to claims using
product type and model designations. Refer to Table 1 on page 5 for a list of compact machine models. Mining
labor rates are assigned based on the principle work code assigned to the product. Refer to Table 3 on page 6
for a list of the Mining principle work codes.
Engines: Olympian, EPG Premium (ATS, UPS and Switchgear, where applicable) and 3600 Engine labor rates
are assigned to claims using product type and model designations. Refer to Table 2 on page 6. All other engine
market rates, such as Marine, Oil and Gas, etc. are assigned based on the principle work code assigned to the
product. The Commercial Engine rate is used when no other market rate is active.
A dealer is required to submit an Earthmoving rate and a Commercial Rate for each dealer branch that services
Cat products. The other market rates are not required unless the dealership publishes any of the rate types listed
above, then those rates should also be submitted to Caterpillar. The Earthmoving and Commercial Engine rates
should only include the products not represented by one of the other market rates. The Earthmoving rate is used
when no other market rates are active. Rates should be provided for the main store and all branches that apply.
Note: When submitting a Mining rate for the first time, the Earthmoving rate must be recalculated excluding data
to be used for Mining rate calculations. If the Mining rate is added after the Earthmoving rate has been put on
file for the year, a second, recalculated Earthmoving rate will be accepted.

Expanded Cat Mining Products may require special, agreed-upon labor rates documented in contracts. These
situations should not be included in the overall Mining labor rate calculation and do not constitute an overall
Mining labor rate.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.05

➤ Definitions and Sample Calculations


The next section of this bulletin defines the various rates, and provides additional information about how they are
calculated. Note: Calculations must result from data collected twelve months just prior to the submission date.

Total Straight Time Revenue


Total Straight Time Revenue is the total external customer revenue for labor minus the revenue differential for
hours charged at an overtime or premium level. The revenue differential is the difference between the normal
labor rate and the overtime or premium labor rate. The dealer’s field rate is not considered a premium level rate
for this calculation, and the difference between the field and shop rates does not need to be subtracted.
Total Straight Time Revenue = Total External Revenue - (OT/PT hours x OT/PT differential)
Note: OT/PT = Overtime/Premium Time

Average Realized Base Labor Rate (Historical or Current Rate)


The Average Realized Base Labor Rate is a revenue calculation provided by the dealer to Caterpillar. The
Base Rate is used to calculate the other rates that will be used by the Caterpillar Service Claim System. It is
calculated by using 12 months of total straight time revenue divided by 12 months of external revenue hours.
Expenses that should be excluded from this revenue calculation are:
• Overtime • Premium Time • Training
• Machine Fabrication • Lube Service • Certified Rebuild
• Preventive Maintenance • Travel • Vehicle (Mileage)
• Hazardous Waste Disposal Fees • Shop Supplies • Third Party Vendor Labor

Average Realized Base Labor Rate = Total Straight Time Revenue


Total External Revenue Labor Hours

Average Realized Percentage


The Average Realized Percentage is the comparison of the Average Realized Base Labor Rate to the dealer’s
posted/advertised customer labor rate represented as a percent. It is calculated by dividing the Average
Realized Base Labor Rate by the Posted Labor Rate.
Average Realized Percentage = Average Realized Base Labor Rate
Average Advertised Rate
Example: Average Realized Base Rate = 85.00
Average Advertised Rate = 100
Average Realized Percentage = 85/100 = 0.85 or 85%

New Average Realized Base Labor Rate (Proposed Rate)


The New Average Realized Base Labor Rate is the dealer’s new posted labor rate times the Average
Realized Percentage. Once calculated this New Base Rate becomes the Average Realized Base Labor Rate,
and will be used for all other labor rate calculations.
New Average Realized Base Labor Rate = Average Realized Percentage x New Advertised Rate
Example: The New Advertised Rate = 110
Average Realized Percentage = 85%
New Average Realized Base Labor Rate = 110 x 0.85 = 93.50

01.05-19 (01/20) 3 ➤ Indicates change.


Bulletin No. 1.05 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Sell Labor Rate


The Sell Labor Rate consists of the Dealer’s Average Realized Base Labor Rate plus a shop supplies
allowance. A Net Hazardous Waste Disposal fee allowance is also added to the base rate if it is applicable to
the dealership. The Sell Labor Rate is what the Caterpillar Service Claim System will use to reimburse dealers
for warranty labor expenses at the sell rate.
Sell Labor Rate = Average Realized Base Labor Rate + Shop Supply Allowance + Disposal Allowance
Example: New Average Realized Base Labor Rate = 93.50
Shop Supply Allowance = 2.00
Disposal Fee Allowance = 1.22
Sell Labor Rate = 96.72
Cost Labor Rate
The Cost Labor Rate consists of 90% of the Dealer’s Average Realized Base Labor Rate plus a shop supplies
allowance. A Net Hazardous Waste Disposal fee allowance is also added to the base rate if it is applicable to
the dealership. The Cost Labor Rate is what the Caterpillar Service Claim System will use to reimburse dealers
for warranty labor expenses at the cost rate.
Cost Labor Rate = (Average Realized Base Labor Rate x 0.90) + Shop Supplies Allowance + Disposal
Allowance
Example: 90% of Average Realized Base Labor Rate = (0.90 x 93.50) = 84.15
Shop Supplies Allowance = 2.00
Disposal Fee Allowance = 1.22
Cost Labor Rate = 87.37

Travel Rate
When applicable to the product being serviced, the Travel Rate is used to compensate the dealer for the
Service Technician’s time spent traveling to and from a job site to perform a repair. It is 90% of the Average
Realized Base Labor Rate. Shop supply and Disposal fees are not included in this calculation. The Travel
Rate is multiplied by the hours provided in the claim detail when applicable for a warrantable repair.
Note: When claiming travel and mileage, the two items must be listed separately in the claim detail.
Travel Rate = 90% of Average Realized Base Labor Rate
Example: 90% of Average Realized Base Labor Rate = (0.90 x 93.50) = 84.15

Vehicle (Mileage/Kilometer) Rate


When applicable to the product being serviced, the Vehicle Rate is used to compensate the dealer for Service
Truck expenses for driving to and from a job site to perform a repair. It is 1.6% for Kilometers and 2.6% for
miles of the Average Realized Base Labor Rate (which includes shop/disposal allowances). The Vehicle Rate
is multiplied by the miles/kilometers provided in the claim detail when applicable for a warrantable repair.
Note: When claiming travel and mileage, the two items must be listed separately in the claim detail.
Vehicle (Mileage/Kilometer) Rate = 1.6% (Km) or 2.6% (Mi) of Average Realized Base Labor Rate
Example: 2.6 % of Average Realized Base Labor Rate = (.026 x 93.50) = 2.43

Shop Supply Expense Allowance


Shop supplies are not allowed as an itemized expense on Warranty Claims. A Shop Supply Expense
Allowance will be included in the sell and cost labor rates automatically once the dealer provides the
calculation indicating their expense. Bulletin 1.02 explains what expenses should be considered as shop supplies.
The shop supply expense calculation is the total cost of shop supplies divided by the total dealer service
hours sold (revenue and interdepartmental).
Note: Shop Supplies Expense requests above 2.7% of the Average Realized Base Labor Rate require a
discussion with the Service Operations Rep.

4 01.05-19 (01/20)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.05

Shop Supplies Expense = Total cost of shop supplies


Total dealer service hours sold
(revenue and interdepartmental)

Example: Total Cost of Shop Supplies = 500,000


Total Service Hours = 250,000
Shop Supplies Expense = 500,000 / 250,000 = 2.00 per hour
2.7% of Base Rate = 93.50 x .027 = 2.52
Shop Supplies Allowance = 2.00 (the lesser of the 2.7% max or shop expense)

Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense Allowance


Note: Not all dealers will have this expense.
The cost to dispose of hazardous waste is not allowed as an itemized expense on Warranty Claims. When
applicable to the dealership, a Disposal Fee Allowance will automatically be included in the sell and cost labor
rates once the dealer provides the calculation indicating their Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense.
The Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense is the total disposal fee expense minus the total recovery for
reclamation and this is divided by the total dealer service hours sold (revenue and interdepartmental). The
disposal of hazardous waste materials includes, but is not limited to: lubricants, coolants, solvents, cleaners
and steam bay water. In cases where the waste material is collected and sold as used material, such as oil,
the recovery amounts are to be subtracted from the disposal expenses.

Note: Disposal Expense requests above 1.3% of the Average Realized Base Labor Rate require a discussion
with the Service Operations Rep.
Note: If a Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense result is a negative number, then zero will be entered into
the Caterpillar System. Do not adjust the calculation on the worksheet.
Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense = (Total disposal fee cost - Total recovery for reclamation)
Total dealer service hours sold
(revenue and interdepartmental)

Example: Net Disposal Fee Cost = (500,000 – 30,000) = 470,000


Net Disposal Expense = 470,000 / 250,000 = 1.88 per hour
1.3% of Base Rate = 93.50 x .013 = 1.22
Disposal Allowance = 1.22 (the lesser of 1.3% max or net disposal expense)

Note: The calculations for the Average Realized Base Labor Rate, the Shop Supplies Expense, and Net
Hazardous Waste Expense must result from data collected from the twelve months just prior to the Labor Rate
submission date. Refer to the example on page 3.

second level dealer is requesting a labor rate change. If the invoice minimum is unable to be met, the Program
Manager at the Cat dealer must submit an exception request to the Caterpillar Industry Service Representative.

Revenue Invoice Requirements:


• Invoices must be dated within 90 days of the labor rate request
• Cat® Engine Serial Number (ESN) must be reflected on the invoice
• If the ESN is not on the invoice, supporting documentation should be provided
• Total number of labor hours billed
• If hours billed are not reflected on the invoice, the requesting dealer is required to provide an internal
accounting invoice that displays the hours billed
• Total number of flat rate hours
• Final labor amount (before taxes)

The Program Manager at the Cat dealer is required to review the invoices to determine if the labor rate change
is supported. If the change is supported, the Program Manager approves the new rate and sends the ASSC
Warranty Labor Rate Change Request Form to the Caterpillar Industry Service Representative for review.

When the labor rate remains the same, the only annual requirement is a completed ASSC Warranty Labor Rate
Change Form with applicable signatures and electronic approvals. The requirement for the revenue invoices is
not needed.
For additional questions, contact the Program Manager at the Cat dealer.

Required Labor Rates


The Labor Rate Tool currently supports the following market-based labor rates:
Required Labor Rates
• Earthmoving (machine)
• Commercial Engine
Other Market Rates
• Truck Engine
• Compact Machines
• Mining*
• Industrial Engines

➤ Indicates change. 2 01.05-12T (06/16)


Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.05T

• Marine Engines (Prime & Auxiliary Power)


• Electric Power (Includes UPS, Switchgears, Generators, Power Modules)
• Oil and Gas (Petroleum) Engines (Prime & Auxiliary Power)
• Railway Engines (Prime & Auxiliary Power)
• 3600 Engines (All applications)
A dealer is required to submit an Earthmoving rate and/or a Commercial Rate for each dealer branch that
services Cat products. The other market rates are not required unless the dealership publishes any of the rate
types listed above, then those rates should also be submitted to Caterpillar. The Earthmoving and Commercial
Engine rates should only include the products not represented by one of the other market rates. The
Earthmoving rate is used when no other market rates are active.
Machines: Earthmoving, Vocational Truck and Compact Machine labor rates are assigned to claims using
product type and model designations. Refer to Table 1 on page 5 for a list of compact machine models. If no
other market rate is active, then the earthmoving rate is used.
Engines: Olympian and 3600 Engine labor rates are assigned to claims using product type and model
designations. Refer to Table 2 on page 5. All other engine market rates, such as Marine, Oil and Gas, etc. are
assigned based on the principle work code assigned to the product. The Commercial Engine rate is used when
no other market rate is active.
Note: It is necessary to inactivate any expired market rates before the default commercial/earthmoving rates can be
applied to the claim. To inactivate a market rate, contact the Program Manager at the Cat dealer for assistance.

Definitions and Sample Calculations


The next section of this bulletin defines the various rates, and provides additional information about how they are
calculated. Note: Calculations must result from data collected twelve months just prior to the submission date.

Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate


The Posted or Advertised Customer Labor Rate is the labor rate that the dealership publishes to their
customers. The rate should not include allowances for shop supplies and/or hazardous waste disposal fees.

Travel Rate
When applicable to the product being serviced, the Travel Rate is used to compensate the dealer for the Service
Technician’s time spent traveling to and from a job site to perform a repair. It is 90% of the Average Realized
Base Labor Rate. Shop supply and Disposal fees are not included in this calculation. The Travel Rate is
multiplied by the hours provided in the claim detail when applicable for a warrantable repair.
Note: When claiming travel and mileage, the two items must be listed separately in the claim detail.
Travel Rate = 90% of Average Realized Base Labor Rate
Example: 90% of Average Realized Base Labor Rate = (0.90 x 93.50) = 84.15

Vehicle (Mileage/Kilometer) Rate


When applicable to the product being serviced, the Vehicle Rate is used to compensate the dealer for Service
Truck expenses for driving to and from a job site to perform a repair. It is 1.6% for Kilometers and 2.6% for
miles of the Average Realized Base Labor Rate (which includes shop/disposal allowances). The Vehicle Rate is
multiplied by the miles/kilometers provided in the claim detail when applicable for a warrantable repair.
Note: When claiming travel and mileage, the two items must be listed separately in the claim detail.
Vehicle (Mileage/Kilometer) Rate = 1.6% (Km) or 2.6% (Mi) of Average Realized Base Labor Rate
Example: 2.6 % of Average Realized Base Labor Rate = (.026 x 93.50) = 2.43

01.05-12T (06/16) 3
Bulletin No. 1.05T Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Shop Supply Expense Allowance


Shop supplies are not allowed as an itemized expense on Warranty Claims. The calculated shop supplies
allowance will be included in the sell labor rates automatically.
Bulletin 1.02 explains what expenses should be considered as shop supplies.
The shop supply expense calculation is the total cost of shop supplies divided by the total dealer service hours
sold (revenue and interdepartmental).
Note: The shop supplies expense should not exceed 2.7% of the Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate.

Shop Supplies Expense = Total cost of shop supplies


Total dealer service hours sold
(revenue and interdepartmental)

Example: Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate = 100


Total Cost of Shop Supplies = 500,000
Total Service Hours = 250,000
Shop Supplies Expense = 500,000 / 250,000 = 2.00 per hour
2.7% of Base Rate = 100 x .027 = 2.70
Shop Supplies Allowance = 2.00 (the lesser of the 2.7% max or shop expense)

Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense Allowance


The cost to dispose of hazardous waste is not allowed as an itemized expense on Warranty Claims. The dealer
is allowed to calculate the disposal allowance when applicable to the dealership. This calculated disposal
allowance will be included in the sell labor rates automatically.
The Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense is the total disposal fee expense minus the total recovery for
reclamation and this is divided by the total dealer service hours sold (revenue and interdepartmental). The
disposal of hazardous waste materials includes, but is not limited to: lubricants, coolants, solvents, cleaners
and steam bay water. In cases where the waste material is collected and sold as used material, such as oil, the
recovery amounts are to be subtracted from the disposal expenses.
Note: The Disposal Expense should not exceed 1.3% of the Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate.
Note: If the Net Hazardous Waste Disposal Expense result is a negative number, then zero will be entered into
the Caterpillar system. Do not adjust the calculation on the worksheet.

Net Waste Disposal Expense = (Total disposal fee cost - Total recovery reclamation)
Total dealer service hours sold
(revenue and interdepartmental)

Example: Net Disposal Fee Cost = (500,000 – 30,000) = 470,000


Net Disposal Expense = 470,000 / 250,000 = 1.88 per hour
1.3% of Base Rate = 100 x .013 = 1.30
Disposal Allowance = 1.30 (the lesser of 1.3% max or net disposal expense)

Note: Calculations for the Labor Rate, Shop Supplies Expense, and Net Hazardous Waste Expense must result
from data collected twelve months just prior to the Labor Rate submission date.

Sell Labor Rate


The Sell Labor Rate is the same as the Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate for dealers who do not itemize shop
supply and hazardous waste disposal fees on their customer invoices but include these fees in their labor rates.
For dealers that do itemize shop supplies and hazardous waste fees on their customer invoices, then the Sell
Labor Rate is the Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate plus a shop supplies allowance. A Net Hazardous
Waste Disposal fee allowance is also added to the posted rate if it is applicable to the dealership.

4 01.05-12T (06/16)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.05T

Sell Labor Rate = Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate + Shop Supply Allowance + Disposal Allowance
Example: Dealer that includes shop supplies/disposal fees in Customer labor rate
Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate = 103.30
Shop Supply Allowance = 0
Disposal Fee Allowance = 0
Sell Labor Rate = 103.30
Example: Dealer that itemizes shop supplies/disposal fees in Customer Invoice
Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate = 100
Shop Supply Allowance = 2.00
Disposal Fee Allowance = 1.30
Sell Labor Rate = 103.30

Cost Labor Rate


The Cost Labor Rate consists of 90% Post/Advertised Customer Labor Rate plus a shop supplies allowance. A
Net Hazardous Waste Disposal fee allowance is also added to the labor rate if it is applicable to the dealership.

Cost Labor Rate = (Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate x 0.90) + Shop Supplies Allowance + Disposal Allowance

Example: 90% of Posted/Advertised Customer Labor Rate = (0.90 x 93.50) = 84.15


Shop Supplies Allowance = 2.00
Disposal Fee Allowance = 1.22
Cost Labor Rate = 87.37

Problem Description Codes

NOTE:
This bulletin describes the proper use of Problem Description Codes for warranty claims, with the
exception of Defective Parts Stock. To submit a Defective Parts Stock warranty claim, reference
the special claiming instructions and the separate list of Problem Description Codes in Bulletin
4.08, found on the Global Warranty website at https://warranty.cat.com/wtyguide.

Overview
Problem Description Codes are used on warranty claims to describe a failure/defect, or indicate a specific type
of claim.

If possible, the Problem Description Code used on claims should agree with the code used in the Service
Information Management System (SIMS) Report. However, if another Problem Description Code is more
descriptive of the failure, it should be used on the claim.

The charts on the following pages list the two-digit Problem Description Codes used to describe the failure or
defect.
Note: The chart on page 2 is organized by category. The chart on pages 3 and 4 is organized by the two-digit
Problem Description Code. System default codes are listed in bold print and highlighted in yellow.

To submit a claim, the appropriate two-digit Problem Description Code must be entered in the the “Description
Code” field of the claim heading.

Labor Reporting SMCS Codes

Overview
Service Management Control System (SMCS) Codes are used to segment the labor portion of the Work Order
and detail labor expenses on service claims. SMCS codes provide consistency in describing labor segments and
operations involved in repairs.
A labor reporting SMCS code is made up of at least two, three, or four codes, as illustrated below.
1107–010 – the first four digits is the component code and the following three digits is the job code
1107–010–9RI – the next set of two or three digits is a modifier code
1107–010–9RI–H – the last digit is a quantity code

SMCS Code Definitions


Component Code – is the first four-digit alphanumeric code that identifies the name of the component or part.
Job Code - is a three-digit numeric code following the job code and identifies the operation performed on the
component.
Modifier Code - two-digit or three-digit alphanumeric code used to further describe the component or job code. Note: Not
all SMCS codes have a modifier code. If the SMCS code has a modifier code, it will directly follow the job code.
Quantity Code - is a single-digit alphabetic code used to define the component quantity. Not all SMCS codes have a
quantity code. Note: If the SMCS code has both a modifier code and a quantity code, then the quantity code follows the
modifier code. If the SMCS code has a quantity code with no modifier code, a blank space is left in the modifier code
position and is followed by the quantity code. Reference the following example: 1107–010– –S

Using SMCS Codes on Claims
To claim for labor, SMCS component codes listed on the SMCS code website at:
https://servicedata.cat.com/Home/SMCSInquiry must be used only on the “Detail Expense” section of the claim.
Note: Do not use job codes 700 thru 899, as these are intended for dealer use only and not for data entry to
Caterpillar.

➤   Determining Order of and Types of Coverage

➤   Overview
This bulletin explains how:
• To determine the order of coverage
• To determine the appropriate coverage for various types of products
• To identify specific codes used to differentiate types of product applications and sales methods
• The product sale method affects reimbursement practices
• To validate coverage
➤   Order of Coverage
The purpose of this section is to provide greater detail about how coverage is assigned and the rationale for the
order in which it is structured.
Illustrated in the Order of Coverage chart within this bulletin is an overview of the major types of coverage
available from Caterpillar (it does not include all of the options available). Because the Order of Coverage affects
the repair, repair invoicing and how a claim is filed, dealers should follow this Order of Coverage to increase
the likelihood of claims being processed correctly the first time. Each type of coverage has different policies,
requirements, and other details that are documented within bulletins. The terms provided for the customer
should follow the terms and conditions outlined in warranty statements and any applicable programs/contracts.

1. Service Letters
Product Improvement Programs (PIPs) and Product Support Programs (PSPs) known as Service Letters are
programs issued by Caterpillar to address known issues. Service Letters should be claimed first and the terms
and conditions are listed in a standardized format found in Service Information System (SIS). Service Letters
must be performed as instructed and the claim is processed per the service letter. Refer to Bulletin 1.16 for
more information about Service Letters and visit the Job Aid section of the Global Warranty website at https://
warranty.cat.com/en/resources0.html.

Bulletin No. 1.11 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

2. Emissions Coverage
In the absence of applicable Service Letters, Emissions warranty is next in the Order of Coverage. Emissions
Coverage is region specific, based on governmental regulations that require a manufacturer to have products
that conform to certain emissions specifications. Emissions coverage is also based on application and parts
involved and typically provides longer coverage periods beyond standard product warranty. For more detailed
information on emissions warranty please refer to bulletins 7.01 and 7.02.

3. Standard Product/Machine/Engine Warranty


When Service Letters and Emissions Coverage do not apply, the next Order of Coverage is standard product
warranty. Use the delivery date as the date coverage begins. Standard product warranty follows product
warranty statements offered to the customer. Warranty terms and reimbursement as well as time periods may
differ based on product type and application. Please refer to bulletin 2.01, 3.01 and other applicable standard
warranty bulletins in the Global Warranty Guide for more details.

4. Extended Coverage
The Extended Coverage options are next in the Order of Coverage and include first year labor, EPP/ESC, or
used EPP/ESC coverage.
Year 1- labor only is machine specific and provides labor coverage during the standard warranty period when
purchased through Caterpillar Financial Insurance Services.
EPP/ESC provides coverage beyond standard warranty. It is applied after the applicable standard or parts
warranty (based on covered components). EPP applies to machines and has various age, hour, and coverage
levels available. ESC applies to engine products and has various age, hour, and coverage levels available
based on Industry and application. Refer to the Caterpillar Financial Insurance Services ESC contracts and the
EPP Bulletins for additional details.

5. Parts Warranty
Parts warranty covers parts purchased through a dealer’s parts department or service department for service
repairs. For more information on parts warranty, please refer to bulletin 4.01.

6. Work Tool Coverage


For work tools, variation in coverage is dependent on application and if the tool is serialized. Please refer
to bulletin 2.02 and 4.03 for more details. (Bulletin 2.02 provides additional resources to help determine the
applicable work tool coverage as well as whether work tool or standard machine warranty applies.)

7. Merchandising/Assurance Program
In some cases, Caterpillar provides additional reimbursement as part of a merchandising or assurance program.
These programs often have defined start and end points, may cover limited components and products, and may
also have limitations based on regions. These programs are the last option to apply. Refer to the respective
bulletins in the Merchandising/Assurance section.
For additional information, refer to the Global Warranty Service Guide located on the Global Warranty website or
submit a service request to the Warranty Service Desk.

➤   Order of Coverage

Product Identification
Dealers must identify the product, its function, and its application to determine the applicable coverage for a
service repair. The following information explains how this information is determined.
Model Series – alphabetic letter at the end of the model designation used to differentiate manufacturing
changes of a machine/engine model
Sales Application Code – alphabetic letter used to determine applicable reimbursement terms by identifying
the function an engine, gen-set, transmission, or branded marine control
Principle Work Code – three digit number used to identify the product’s application
Distribution Code / Owner Class – single-digit numeric or alphabetic code used to identify the sales method
for a serialized product and drives reimbursement terms. This code is referred to as “Owner Class” in the
Service Information Management System (SIMS).
Caterpillar sells products through the following main distribution methods:
• Directly to Cat dealers
• Directly to another manufacturer, called an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
• Directly to governmental agencies
Note: When retail-sold Electric Power or Industrial engines change territories and the repairing dealer differs
from the selling dealer, OEM reimbursement terms may apply. In this case, the repairing dealer should request
a distribution code change to “W” by submitting a ticket to the Warranty Service Desk.

Bulletin No. 1.11 Caterpillar: Confidential Green Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.11

Looking Up Assigned Coverage


When a serialized product is sold to an end user, the dealer sales department enters sales information into the
Caterpillar sales reporting system or SCORE. Caterpillar uses the codes previously mentioned and the delivery
dates to determine applicable coverage terms. Coverages may be viewed using SIMSi at https://sims.cat.com or
Claimsi at https://claims.cat.com by entering the Prime Product serial number and selecting “Product Coverage.”
In order for coverage to be assigned, the product must have one of the following:
• Processed via SCORE which captures necessary sales details
• Populated delivery date (for products not in service, claim requirements are listed in specific bulletins)
• Assigned special coverage such as field follow units
• Enrolled in an applicable program such as Extended Service Coverage (ESC)
Note:
• Service Letters are applied based on publish date, serial numbers, SMU readings, and regions
• Emission coverage is applicable to North America and based on part-causing failure. Refer to warranty
bulletins 7.01/7.02 for additional details.

Product Delivery

Overview
Once a product is sold, the sale must be reported. Please refer to Dealer.cat.com for more information on sales
reporting of a prime product.
Once a product is delivered to the first customer and is ready to be put into service, the delivery date must be
reported. It should be recorded on the Engine/Product Delivery Service Record (DSR). Electronic signatures
and/or electronic files may be used. See the Submitting Delivery Service Record Information section below.
The Delivery Date is the date product warranty period begins.

Machines
The delivery date for a new machine is when the unit is physically transported from the dealer’s place of business
to the customer’s place of business or job site for the purpose of putting it into service. This applies to machines
sold to dealer rental fleets, machines on lease and machines sold to brokers.
Once a delivery date (warranty start date) has been established, warranty will continue without interruption for
the duration of the warranty period. Changes to the warranty period must be approved by the Product Manager,
or designee. Approved changes to the length of the warranty period or duration will be managed using coverage
start dates in lieu of changing the delivery date. The delivery date should remain the same as the date on the
original signed DSR.
Machines in dealer inventory are eligible for pre-delivery repair expense reimbursement before a delivery date is
established. See Warranty Bulletin 2.01. The Service Meter Unit (SMU) limit for a pre-delivery repair is 100 hours.
Pre-delivery claims for product with SMU greater than 100 hours will be reimbursed per standard warranty policy,
i.e. labor will not be reimbursed.
Rental Fleet - Warranty Administration - Warranty on products in the rental fleet should be administered by the
dealer’s service department in the same way as units delivered to any other initial user.
Rental Fleet - Products Sold After Use in Rental Fleet – When a unit from the dealer’s rental fleet is sold, a
used machine sale should be reported to Caterpillar via SIMSi. The warranty period, as determined from the
original Delivery Service Record, is not affected by such change of ownership. Caterpillar will provide warranty

to the rental fleet. Any warranty extension beyond original warranty period provided at the time of sale is the
responsibility of the selling dealer.

Commercial Engines
The delivery date for a new commercial engine is when the unit is physically transported from the dealer’s place
of business to the user’s place of business or job site for the purpose of putting it into service. This date also
applies to engines put into service in dealer rental fleets or engines sold to a broker. Some exceptions apply, see
below. Selling to an OEM does not constitute delivery to the first customer; therefore the delivery date should not
be entered for a sale to an OEM.
Engines in dealer inventory are eligible for pre-delivery repair expense reimbursement before a delivery date is
established. See Warranty Bulletin 3.01. The Service Meter Unit (SMU) limit for a pre-delivery repair is 200 hours.
Pre-delivery claims for product with SMU greater than 200 hours will be reimbursed per standard warranty policy.
Some exceptions apply, see below.
Any documented information received from the customer that has not previously been entered into SIMSi should
be entered by the servicing dealer. If there is a discrepancy between the customer-supplied information and
SIMSi, the discrepancy should be resolved at the time of repair.
Engines – Engines, Generator Sets, Well Stimulation and Well Service Pumps in Oil and Gas Applications
Work Application Code B12 (propulsion)- The warranty start date for engines or Caterpillar Packaged Products
that are used to propel a Drill Rig or Drill Ship begins when the propulsion engines are started for the purpose of
moving the rig or ship from the drill rig yard.
Note: If a dealer is contacted to work on an engine or packaged product that is used to propel a Drill Rig
or Drill Ship, it will be necessary to determine when the propulsion engines were started in the drill rig yard,
complete the Delivery Service Inspection and use this date as the delivery date for the product.
• For engines on drill rigs in the Self-Propelled category, the warranty period starts when the drill rig or drill ship
first begins using the propulsion system or obtains 1,000 Total SMU hours, whichever comes first.
• The date this engine obtains 1,000 hours should be entered into SIMSi as the Delivery Date.
Work Application Code B12 and B13 (non-propulsion)- The warranty start date for non-propulsion engines
or Caterpillar Packaged Products used on a Drill Rig or Drill Ship begins when the first of the following occurs:
• The engines or Packaged Product on which the engines are installed are moved and set up at their first
revenue hole.
• The engines or Packaged Product have Delivery Service Inspections completed on them by a Cat dealer.
Note: If a dealer is contacted to work on a non-propulsion engine or Packaged Product on a drill rig site and it
has not been reported as being delivered, the dealer is to determine when the rig was moved to the site, complete
the Delivery Service Inspection and use this date as the delivery date of the product.
• For engines on Non-Propelled Offshore or Land Rigs, the warranty period starts when the rig begins operation
on the first revenue hole or obtains 1,000 Total SMU hours, whichever comes first.
• The date this engine obtains 1,000 hours should be entered into SIMSi as the Delivery Date.
Work Application Code B11, B20, B30, B40, B50 and B13 Auxiliary Engines used on other than a Drill Rig

2 01.12-06 (03/16)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.12

Note: When a dealer is contacted to work on a product with an engine that has in excess of 200 hours on it and
the product has not been reported as delivered in the Caterpillar ACF2M data system, the dealer is to estimate
when the engine received 200 hours and complete the Delivery Service Inspection and DSR, and enter the
delivery date into SIMSi..
Engines - Transferred EPG Units
For Electric Power Generation Products that have been transferred from the first customer to a second customer
prior to being started by an authorized Cat dealer, warranty will start upon delivery to the first customer.
Caterpillar reserves the right to make exceptions to this policy based on proper storage procedures, adherence
to application/installation guidelines, proper start-up and confidence in the selling entity’s willingness and ability
to ensure customer satisfaction for non-warrantable failures.
Branded Marine Controls (Cat brand nameplate installed)
The warranty term begins at delivery date, in-service date or commission date to the first customer. For new
branded marine controls (Cat brand nameplate installed) that are delivered in conjunction with a new Caterpillar
marine engine, the delivery date (warranty start) is intended to be the same as for the new engine.

Vocational On-Highway Trucks


The start date of the warranty period for Vocational On-Highway trucks begins when the product is delivered to the
first user. In addition to SCORE, the delivering dealer must also enter the miles/km information into the Delivery
Units field on the Customer Name and Address Screen in SIMSi.
For product delivered and not put into immediate service, the vocational on-highway truck may be operated on a
limited basis for up to 6,500 miles/10,461 km. Once the truck reaches 6,500 miles /10,461 km of operation, a Delivery
Service Record form must be completed by the dealer and reported to Caterpillar. Vocational On-Highway Trucks
reaching the above hour limitations must be placed into service to the dealer using the Caterpillar Sales Reporting
System, SCORE. Dealers may elect to sell the product as new and utilize Rental with Purchase option Sale Type 3
to SCORE the product, and then utilize Convert To Final Sale when the product is sold to the end customer. Products
sold as new must receive the full Caterpillar Standard Warranty; Caterpillar will only participate for the remainder of
warranty left from the original Delivery Date (unless a Delivery Date Change Request is approved).
Documentation to validate when a product reached/exceeded the hour/mi/km limitation is required. For dealers
that fail to provide documentation, Caterpillar will utilize a formula to calculate a delivery date based upon current
product hours/mi/km and enter that date into the Caterpillar systems. The formulas are as follows:
• On-Highway Vehicle Mid-Range Engines (3116, 3126, 3208) - 250 miles (400km) for each day of service
since the delivery date to the initial user.
• On-Highway Vehicle Heavy Duty Engines (3176, C-9, C10, C-12, C-15, C-16, 3306, 3406, etc.) - 400 miles
(640km) for each day of service since the delivery date to the initial user.
Additionally, the delivering dealer should enter the miles/km/hours information into the Delivery Units field on the
Customer Name and Address Screen in SIMSi. .
These actions by the dealer will start the warranty period on the truck.

Submitting Delivery Service Record Information


The Delivery Service Record form is used to document the date of product delivery to the first customer for
starting the warranty period. The document needs to be signed by the customer to begin warranty coverage. If
the unit is a rental, the dealership signs the form. The following are the 2 options dealers have for submitting the
Delivery Service Record form information to Caterpillar:
• By electronically entering the information into Caterpillar’s sales reporting system (SCORE),
or
• By electronically entering the information into SIMSi.
Dealers must retain on file a copy of the Delivery Service Record for verification, if requested by Caterpillar.

• A new contested claim may be submitted for a cancelled contested claim, as long as it is submitted
within 30 days of last settlement.

Supplemental Claims
After a Service Claim Settlement Notice has been issued on an original claim, omitted (PD 20) or non-allowed
expenses (PD 98) may be submitted for reconsideration on a supplemental claim. Supplemental claims cannot
duplicate expenses reimbursed on the original claim.
There are two types of supplemental claims, which are identified by the problem description code:
• Contested Supplemental Claims (PD 98) - are used to contest non-allowed claims or non-allowed
expenses on the original claim In these cases, the claim “Control” page should be updated with the
dealer claim number and a “98” should be entered in the Description Code field. No additional changes
should be made to the “Control” page for a supplemental (PD 98) claim.
Supplemental (PD 98) claims are filed to contest the previous settlement and may include changes
in the claim story and/or references to additional documentation in SIMSi, including ECM downloads,
invoices, service images, etc. Information that should not be added to the claim includes previously
unclaimed items and/or corrections for items previously filed incorrectly.
• Additions / Corrections Supplementals (PD 20) - are used to correct expenses or to submit additional
information omitted in the original claim. In these cases, the claim “Control” page should be updated
with the dealer claim number and a “20” should be entered in the Description Code field. No additional
changes should be made to the “Control” page for a supplemental (PD 20) claim.

New claims must be filed when one of the following conditions apply:
• The “Control” page requires changes from the original claim other than the dealer claim number and PD code
• Claims are linked to cancelled or returned claims exceeding 14 days in the Grief-Hold File

Cancelled Claims
Cancelled claims are claims that have been voided and cannot be contested. Even though there was no monetary
transaction between Caterpillar and the dealer, a copy of the cancelled claim remains in the Caterpillar Service
Claim System.
Caterpillar or the dealer may cancel a claim in the following ways:
• Dealer Request - A dealer may request a claim to be cancelled due to an incomplete/incorrect claim.
• Warranty Analyst - A warranty analyst may cancel a claim if information cannot be fully evaluated to
continue processing.
• System Process - The Caterpillar Service Claims System cancels a claim when the following conditions apply:
• Specific information does not meet the system edit guidelines to process. For example: an
incorrect serial number.
• A returned claim exceeds the 14-day dealer processing limit in the online Grief-Hold File.
Supplemental claims (PD 20 or 98) associated with cancelled claims are not accepted by the Caterpillar claims
system. Therefore, for further claim action a new claim with a new claim number must be submitted. All claim field
data must be re-entered, making corrections or additions as necessary, and the original dealer claim number from
the canceled claim must not be re-used.

Time Limits
Caterpillar must receive service claims and addition/correction supplemental claims within 60 days of the repair
date (last day of labor) on the claim. Caterpillar must receive contested supplemental claims within 30 days of the
settlement notice date of the original claim. Late claims are not accepted unless prior authorization is given. Claims
are not accepted for a repair outside of 365 days.

General Guidelines

Repair vs. Replacement

Overview
The following guidelines are used to determine whether to repair or replace parts, serialized components, and/or prime
products with new or Reman options.

Most Economical Repair


Dealers are to perform the most economical option when determining to repair or replace parts, serialized components,
and/or prime products.
Repair – Individual parts should be repaired when the following conditions apply:
• The repair is expected to restore the product to its operating condition just prior to failure.
• The option to repair is less costly than replacing the product with a new or Reman part.
Replacement – Parts and assembled or serialized components should be replaced when it is less costly than the option
to repair.
When individual parts of an assembly are not serviced (e.g. fuel injection nozzles, oil cooler cores, starting motors, charging
alternators, water pumps, etc.), the complete assembly should be replaced with a Reman assembled component.
Repair vs. Replace Cost Comparison - Repair vs. Replace Forms should be used as a guide when making repair
or replacement decisions and may be required when submitting certain types of warranty claims. They must also be
kept on file with other repair documentation at the dealership and made available to Caterpillar upon request. Forms
for engines and machines are available at https://warranty.cat.com/wtyforms. In all cases, use applicable warranty
reimbursement rates in repair vs. replace comparison calculations. For engines, include Time Requirement Guide
(TRG) labor times in the calculation. For machines, include the appropriate labor guidelines, whether it is Machine
Labor Guidelines or Equipment Repair Labor Guidelines (ERLGs). Time Requirement Guidelines may be found at
https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/service/trg.html.
Note: An example of a completed engine Repair vs. Replace worksheet may be reviewed in the Job Aid section of the
Global Warranty website at https://warranty.cat.com/en/resources0.html.
➤ Expanded Mining Products - Caterpillar typically prescribes that dealers are to determine and execute the most
economical repair to resolve defects covered under terms of Caterpillar warranty. The typical outcome of most economical
repair is one at the lowest serviceable level.

For an extended period of time the repair process may be very different for many components of Expanded Cat® Mining
Product models (excluding MT Family Trucks). Overtime, service parts, special tooling, repair information, etc. will be
made available to Cat dealers to the support most economical repair.
If Caterpillar has not made serviceable parts available and provided specific component repair instructions via SIS, it is
possible that significant repairs will need to be made by Caterpillar or the component supplier/manufacturer.
In these cases:
• If specific instructions are not available via SIS, contact Caterpillar DSN for repair process instructions before
beginning disassembly of any component beyond correction of leaks.
• Replacement rather than repair of the component may be required. Reimbursement of allowable expenses will
be in alignment with the replace vs. repair instructions provided via DSN process.
• If the DSN was contacted, include the DSN ticket number in the story of resulting warranty claims.
Failure to comply with this special requirement may result in denial of claims for warranty reimbursement or debit of
previously settled claims.
Note that the DSN does not authorize warranty; repair instructions are for the purpose of restoring product functionality.

Prime Product Commercial Engine Replacement


The following outlines the unique claim field information and other required steps when a prime product commercial
engine is replaced with a new prime product during standard warranty.
• Explanation of the defect in Caterpillar material or workmanship and resultant damaged parts must be detailed in
the claim story.
• List the name of the Caterpillar Representative that authorized the replacement and reason for the replacement
in the claim story.
• A completed Repair vs. Replace worksheet must be attached to the claim in SIMSi. This worksheet is used instead
of the detail page.
• Commercial engines must be priced at Dealer Net (D/N) on the Repair vs. Replace worksheet. Caterpillar
merchandising programs, discounts, freight charges, T&I, taxes and other costs are not allowed.
• Include the appropriate fees and credits associated with NERO (New Engine Replacement Order) engines and/
or generators.
• Submit one miscellaneous expense line using OTHER as the code.
• Create a SIMSi ticket for the failed prime product and the new prime product describing the transfer of serial
numbers (i.e.: BCK01234: “replaced by BCK43210” & BCK43210: “replaces BCK01234”).
• Failed prime products must be returned to Caterpillar as a core or scrapped per warranty guidelines. The serial
number will be removed from the system to prevent warranty claims from being submitted.
For additional assistance on prime product commercial engine replacement, contact the NERO coordinator for the
appropriate industry or the Caterpillar Tech Rep.

NERO Handling Fee (Americas North Only)


If Caterpillar supplies a complete new prime product to fulfill a warranty obligation, repairing dealers may claim a $200.00
handling charge. Include the $200.00 handling charge in the claim for other reimbursable expenses as a miscellaneous
line item using code “HANDLI” found in Bulletin 1.27.
If Caterpillar requests a dealer to supply a replacement prime product to another dealer at their acquisition cost, the
supplying dealer may claim a $200.00 handling charge as a miscellaneous line item using code “HANDLI” found in
Bulletin 1.27. File a claim against the failed prime product serial number and include the name of the repairing dealer,
shipped to address, and supplied prime product serial number in the claim story.

Cylinder Packs, Piston Rings and Rod Bearings


If replacing 2 of the 4 major components of a cylinder pack, the most economical repair must be used. The four major
components include the piston, liner, connecting rod, and piston rings.

➤ Indicates change. 2 01.15-07 (05/16)


Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 1.15

If the piston rings have not failed, are not contingently damaged, or removed from the piston, they may be reused. The
piston rings may be reinstalled in the same liner (heavy-duty) or reinstalled in the same cylinder (medium duty) from which
they were removed.
Rod bearings may be reused if there is no contamination of the lube system and the bearing was removed for inspection
or when removing a cylinder pack.
The following applies for contaminated lube systems:
• Coolant or fuel contamination, which occurred over a day or more, are considered continued operation and are
not reimbursable.
• Heavy and fast contamination in which a customer would not have reasonable opportunity to take action is
reimbursable and must be justified in the claim story.
• Metal contamination of bearings is reimbursable.
• When a connecting rod or complete cylinder pack is replaced, a new rod bearing is reimbursable.

Usage of Reman
A Reman part / component must be used when it is determined that a Reman part / component is available and it is the
most economical means of repair. When required, a complete Reman major component must always be used to satisfy
Reman product warranty. In countries where Reman part usage is restricted, it is acceptable to use New Parts. The
Caterpillar Reman product group validates approved countries with this exception.

Reman Major Component Claiming Practices


The following claim field information is required for all major component standard or extended coverage claims involving:
• Repair of a Reman component, or
• Replacing a failed new or Reman component with a Reman component.
Major component categories include:
• Engines
• Generators
• Transmissions
• Torque Converters
• Steering Clutch & Brake Groups
• Final Drive or Wheel Groups
Product ID / Serial Number
• For machines and engines (Prime Product) - enter the serial number
• Reman engine (Prime Product) – enter the Reman serial number
• If component is installed in competitive equipment – enter 99Z00015
Related Equipment (Machine claims only)
• OEM / Make - leave this field blank
• Cab Type – enter the letters “RM” indicating “Reman”
• Model / Serial Number – enter the Reman component serial number
Product Hr/Mi/Km (Engines/Generators) - For a customer-purchased Reman engine/generator, enter the number of
hours/miles/kilometers on the Reman engine/generator, not the total vehicle numbers.
Customer Credit % (Engines) - Enter 100 for Parts and number entered for Labor as follows: 0 for industrial
engines or 100 for marine engines and TEPS Dealers/AMDs sold Reman engines.
Claim Story: For situations when a new serialized, non-serialized or a Reman major component was used instead of a
more economical repair, the dealer must provide justification in the claim story. When applicable, the Caterpillar contact
name must also be included. Examples that may qualify for such consideration include: Low product age/hours/miles/
kilometers, excessive downtime, and/or unavailability of repair parts and/or Reman units.

01.15-07 (05/16) 3
Bulletin No. 1.15 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Claim Story (Engines): If the Reman engine was sold into an industrial application by a TEPS dealer or into a marine
application by either a Cat dealer or an AMD, include the sales method in the Claim Story in order to receive the
appropriate warranty coverage.
Required Documentation: Completed Repair vs. Replace Cost Comparison Worksheet and Caterpillar Invoice.
NOTE (All Products): When a major component is replaced with a Reman replacement component the dealer must:
• Create a SIMS entry noting the Reman replacement component serial number.
• Update the product configuration screen in SIMS with the Reman replacement component serial number.

General Guidelines

Service Letters

Overview
Product Improvement Programs (PIPs) and Product Support Programs (PSPs) are programs issued by Caterpillar
through Service Letters. The terms and conditions of such programs are listed in a standardized format found in
Service Information System (SIS). Service Letters should not be copied or provided to customers as these documents
are intended for dealer internal use only.
Note: Containment PSPs identified with program numbers PS6xxxx and PS9xxxx are not covered by this bulletin.
Contact your Caterpillar Tech Rep for assistance.
Visit the Job Aid section of the Global Warranty website at https://warranty.cat.com/en/resources0.html for additional
information on Service Letters including the followings topics:
• Service Letter Reference Numbers
• Service Letter Term Definitions
• Dealer PIP Completion Responsibility
• Dealer Inability to Complete a Safety or Priority PIP Rework (Customer refusal, performed by customer, not
applicable, location unknown, or product out of service)
• Owner Notification of Safety and Priority PIPs
• Reporting PIP / PSP Completion in SIMS
• Dealer Training and Preparation for PIP Repairs
• Service Letter Process Map

PIPs are mandatory programs issued to repair or replace parts or assembled components. The three types of
PIPs include:
• Safety PIPs
• Priority PIPs
• Parts Stock or Dealer Tool PIPs
Caterpillar or the Cat dealer sends a notice of the product problem to the customer/end user for Safety and Priority PIPs.

Safety PIPs are programs established to eliminate a suspected safety hazard. Dealers must give Safety PIPs
immediate attention by performing the PIP repair as soon as possible. Safety PIPs do not have a termination date
and are valid indefinitely.

Bulletin No. 1.16 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Priority PIPs are programs established to eliminate future potentially costly repairs and/or meet regulatory
requirements. A Priority PIP has a Completion Date and a Termination Date.
• Completion Date - For all Priority PIPs, (except Parts Stock/Dealer Tool PIPs) the completion date is the last
day of the month, six (6) months after the issue date of the Service Letter. If a dealer starts a Priority PIP on or
before the completion date, Caterpillar reimburses the dealer for the parts and labor specified in the Priority PIP
Service Letter. Additionally, Caterpillar reimburses the dealer for justified resultant damage parts and labor.
• Termination Date - For all Priority PIPs, (except Parts Stock/Dealer Tool PIPs) the termination date is last
day of the month, twelve (12) months after the issue date of the Service Letter. If a dealer starts a Priority PIP
after the completion date, but on or before the termination date, Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is
limited to the parts and labor specified in the Priority PIP Service Letter. Reimbursement does not include
resultant damage.

Parts Stock / Dealer Tool PIPs are programs established to remove suspected improper parts stock or
dealer tool stock from a dealer’s parts inventory. Service Letters for Parts Stock and Dealer Tool PIPs instruct
dealers to scrap, salvage, or return the parts or tools to Caterpillar.
• Termination Date - For all Parts Stock and Dealer Tool PIPs, the termination date is the last day of the
month, three (3) months after the issue date of the Service Letter.
TEPS Dealers / AMDs cannot submit Parts Stock / Dealer Tool PIPs. They are reimbursed for recalled parts
or tools by returning the affected parts or tools to the Cat dealer. Parts Stock/Dealer Tool PIPs involving salvage
labor are handled in the same manner. The Cat dealer is reimbursed for the exchanged parts or tools or salvage
labor by submitting a Parts Stock/Dealer Tool PIP claim.

PSPs are programs providing dealers and customers support for known product problems. The two types of
PSPs include:
• Before or After Failure PSPs
• After Failure Only PSPs
PSPs may provide partial repair expense participation by Caterpillar, as the customer received a portion of the
intended product value. In such cases, the remainder of the PSP repair costs is shared between the dealer and
the customer, as indicated in the Service Letter. The dealer is required to perform the PSP and file a claim for
reimbursement consideration. This does not include containment PSPs with PS6 or PS9 program numbers.

Before or After Failure PSPs allow dealers to perform the PSP repair prior to a failure of the identified
PSP problem, or at the time a failure occurs due to the PSP problem. Completion of before failure repairs is
based on dealer assessment of impact and requirements of specific customers. Before failure repairs are to be
performed when determined the repair is necessary.

After Failure Only PSPs allow dealers to only perform the PSP repair caused by the identified PSP problem
once a failure has occurred.

Repeating PIP / PSP Repair


If a PIP / PSP repair fails due to a Caterpillar defect in material or workmanship, a repeat repair must be claimed
as indicated in the Service Letter if both conditions apply:
• Service Letter has not expired; and
• Product is within the product age and hour range of the PIP / PSP.
In such cases, a PIP / PSP Service Claim should be filed using the PIP / PSP Reference Number and adding
a description code of “96” to identify the after failure repair. Justification for repeating the PIP / PSP must be
included in the claim story.

Service Letter Content


Service Letter Date - the date the Service Letter was issued is located on the first page in the upper right
hand corner directly below the orange-red stripe. The specific program can only be applied to repairs that have a
repair date that is on or after the Service Letter Date. Caterpillar will not announce its intention to issue a service

letter or authorize repairs in advance of a service letter program being released.

Affected Product (not applicable for Parts Stock & Dealer Tool PIPs) - list of the models and
serial numbers of the affected product. If a product serial number is not listed, then it is not covered by the Service Letter.

Parts Needed - lists the parts needed and authorized for replacement. If a failure has occurred, there may be
additional parts claimed due to resultant damage.
• New parts listed in the Service Letter are not to be substituted with Reman parts. Reman parts may be used
only if included in the Parts Needed list or to repair after failure Resultant Damage that is not part of the
specified Service Letter repair.
• In countries where use of Reman parts is prohibited, it is acceptable to use New Parts instead of the listed
Reman parts.
• Fluids specified by part number (packaged quantity) in the Parts Needed list may be substituted by use of
appropriate bulk packaged fluid and claimed as a miscellaneous item using appropriate miscellaneous ex-
pense codes. Reference Bulletin 1.27.

Dealer Expense Reimbursement


Service Letters provide a prescribed repair action addressing a known product problem. Parts and labor
reimbursement for the prescribed repair is limited to the maximum listed in the “Service Letter Allowance”
section. Additional parts and labor not listed, but required to correct the justified resultant damage after a
failure, are reimbursable. Other available coverages such as Equipment Protection Plans (EPP) and Extended
Service Coverages (ESC) may provide reimbursement of allowable dealer/customer expenses.
Reimbursement expenses are reimbursed per the Service Letter.
• Caterpillar participation in PIPs is 100% of allowable expenses as outlined in the Service Letter.
• Caterpillar participation in PSPs may be 100% of allowable expenses as outlined in the Service Letter based
on age/hours; or may be prorated to a lower Caterpillar participation. The percentage of Caterpillar participa-
tion in the “Service Claims Allowance” section applies to all parts and labor allowed.

Parts
Only parts listed in the “Parts Needed” section are reimbursable for the prescribed repair.

Labor
The labor allowance in the “Service Claim Allowances” section of the Service Letter is the maximum established repair
time to complete all work for the prescribed repair including time to inspect, test, diagnose, remove, disassemble,
clean, assemble, install and salvage parts. Labor associated to the prescribed repair beyond the allowance is not
reimbursable.
• If the actual labor hours to perform a PIP repair are less than the Service Letter labor allowance, the full labor
allowance listed in the Service Letter may be claimed.
• If the actual labor hours to perform a PSP repair are less than the Service Letter labor allowance, only the
actual labor hours may be claimed.

Resultant Damage
Additional Cat® parts and labor required to repair resultant damage after a failure are reimbursable under the
Service Letter if justified in the claim story. This excludes Priority PIP repairs started after the Completion Date.

Miscellaneous Expenses listed in the “Service Letter Allowance” section are reimbursed at 100% of the
justified amount up to the maximum listed. Other miscellaneous expenses that are not listed are subject to PSP
proration. Reference note on page 9.

Application of Other Coverages


All Service Letter repairs must be claimed against the PIP/PSP; even if the product has additional extended coverage.
These additional coverages do not apply to before failure repairs.

01.16-15 (02/18) 3
Bulletin No. 1.16 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

PIP Performed After-Failure: Reasonable parts and labor expense required to repair after failure Resultant
Damage for Priority PIP repairs that are started after the Completion Date is reimbursable.

PSPs Performed After-Failure (prorated Cat participation)


Parts and labor for the amount of dealer/customer participation listed in the “Service Claim Allowances” section for
the prescribed repair (the remainder of proration not covered by Cat under Service Letter) is reimbursable at vari-
ous rates established by the specific additional coverage. Additionally, the same percentage of dealer/customer
participation in reasonable parts and labor expenses required to repair justified after failure resultant damage is
also reimbursable. The applicable EPP/ESC coverage will reimburse any customer responsibility pro-ration if the
failure is due to a covered component. Additional information to support the additional parts and labor above the
Service Letter must be justified in the claim story. Applicable PSPs must be performed and claimed in order to
receive consideration for available EPP or ESC coverage that may be applied to the prorated customer portion of
the PSP “Service Letter Allowance” section.

PSPs Performed After-Failure (no prorated Cat participation)


All resultant damaged parts and labor are reimbursed by the Service Letter when justified in the claim story. Other
coverages do not apply.

Claiming Practices for Other Coverages


• Coverage Type - Leave blank.
• Description Code - Enter “40”
• Claim Story - In addition to the normal claim story information required for PIP/PSPs performed after failure,
the first line must state “Request includes additional reimbursement under a specific additional coverage”. List
the specific applicable coverage in the claim story.

Footnote
1 Safety & Priority PIP Service Letter repairs to mobile (units that can be driven or easily transported) engine
product such as on-highway truck, industrial, mobile Ag, are expected to be performed in a dealer shop.
Exceptions to this expectation include the following.
 After failure when unit is:
 Inoperable and travel cost is less than cost of towing/hauling to nearest dealer shop
 Before failure when one or more of the following conditions exist:
 Caterpillar has recommended units be taken out of service until repair is made
 To perform Safety related repairs on units that are temporarily non-mobile
For these exceptions, all claims requesting TT&M reimbursement must include explanation why repair was not
made in dealer shop along with adequate to/from destination detail to validate time and distance. Dealer must
keep documentation on file to support audit.
Safety & Priority PIP Service Letter repairs to non-mobile engine product such as stationary EPG, Marine, Oil
and Gas may include TT&M for before or after failure repairs when the cost is less than the cost of towing/
hauling the unit to nearest dealer shop. All claims for TT&M must include adequate to/from destination detail
to validate time and distance.

Warranty Administration
by Caterpillar Defense & Federal Products (D&FP)
Overview
This bulletin addresses warranty administration for governmental sales by Caterpillar Defense & Federal
Products (D&FP) to:
• U.S. Governmental Civilian Agencies
• U.S. Military establishments
• Non-U.S. Governments or Military establishments
Products sold by D&FP have a “Selling Dealer Code” beginning with the letter “G” (Example: G151).

Initial Services
Sales contracts specify the initial services and warranty coverage for products purchased by governmental
agencies directly from Caterpillar. Initial services and warranty coverages may vary between agencies or within
the same agency.
Expenses for initial services, such as product preparation, attachment assembly, transportation, training or other
Caterpillar requested services are invoiced to the D&FP Contract Administrator through a Purchase Order. The
Caterpillar Service Claim System must be used to claim for warrantable repairs performed prior to delivery.
Warrantable repairs should not be included on the initial services invoice.

Validating Warranty Coverage


Before performing warranty service, coverage and dealer reimbursement must be verified by checking the
serial number in the Service Information Management System (SIMSi) or Caterpillar Claiming System (Claimsi).
Dealers are reimbursed per the terms on the “Product Coverage” tab.

Repairing Dealer Responsibilities


When a selling dealer authorizes a repairing dealer to provide warranty service, the repairing dealer should
submit a claim for Caterpillar’s portion of warranty service expenses. For all other expenses, the repairing dealer
should invoice the selling dealer.
Note: Inter-territorial service fees do not apply to governmental sold product when the selling dealer authorizes
warranty service from the repairing dealer.

Dealer Rebuilt Exchange Components

Overview
A dealer rebuilt exchange component is a component that has been rebuilt by a Cat® dealer, and it must be
clearly identified as such. For example: The rebuilt exchange component may be stamped with the appropriate
dealer code and the word “Rebuild” above the part number.

does not allow dealer rebuilt exchange component prices to exceed the equivalent Cat Reman component prices.

Warranty Responsibility
Caterpillar assumes warranty responsibility for only Caterpillar supplied parts used during the dealer repair. Failures due
to dealer workmanship are the responsibility of the Cat dealer that rebuilt the exchange component. Parts reused in the
rebuild are not eligible for parts warranty; however they may be reimbursed as resultant damage per Bulletin 4.01.

Claiming Practices
Add the dealer rebuilt exchange component on a miscellaneous expense line and enter the following information:
• Expense ID - enter “M” for miscellaneous.
• Quantity - enter the quantity used.
• Part Name / Expense Description - enter the abbreviation “DLREXC”.

Shipping Damage and Discrepancies


(All Products and Parts Orders)

Overview
This bulletin provides information about shipping damage and discrepancies on products ordered and received
through the Caterpillar order fulfillment process for all regions. It also offers guidance in determining the
responsible party, as indicated in the Errors in Shipment Decision Model on page 4. For parts ordered from a
Caterpillar Parts Distribution Center, refer to the Antares Claims section of this bulletin.

Product Inspection
It is the dealer’s responsibility to check and inspect the product upon delivery to the dealership or warehouse
and to perform a thorough analysis of a suspected short shipment. Causes for shortages, product errors, and
damages in shipment may be linked to various processes, including order fulfillment, manufacturing, logistics,
transportation, dealer operations, and/or storage. Therefore, it is imperative to identify the responsible party in
each short ship situation before filing a claim.

Short ship does not apply in the following situations:


 Pre-Delivery Warranty Repairs are repairs performed due to defects in material or workmanship
found in products prior to delivery to the first user. Please refer to the appropriate product bulletin. For
Machines, refer to Bulletin 2.01, and for Engines, refer to Bulletin 3.01.
 In-Transit Warranty Repairs are repairs on a new product shipped from Caterpillar, but are located in
a seaport or transportation yard. Please refer to the appropriate product bulletin. For Machines, refer to
Bulletin 2.01, and for Engines, refer to Bulletin 3.01.
 Parts Warranty applies when new and Reman parts or assembled components are found to be
defective during installation (including testing prior to installation) or by the component or product being
operated. For Parts Warranty, refer to Bulletin 4.01.
 Parts Stock Warranty applies when new and Reman parts or assembled components are found to
be defective at the time of purchase or prior to installation through a visual inspection. For Parts Stock
Warranty, refer to Bulletin 4.08.

Frame Repairability (only applicable to certain products)


Repairability coverage warrants that major welded components of main frame will remain repairable following Caterpillar
specified weld process for the defined period. If during this period it is determined by Caterpillar that a covered component
is not weld repairable, Caterpillar will provide parts and welded components necessary to replace the non-repairable frame
or frame component. To maintain this coverage, the covered component(s) must have scheduled and documented crack
inspections as per the Operation & Maintenance Manual (OMM). Any cracks found during these inspections must be
promptly welded per Caterpillar specifications.
Note: Inspections and weld repair of cracks is considered normal machine maintenance.
• Labor for required inspections and/or to weld cracks discovered during scheduled inspections is at the
customer’s expense.
• Labor to replace non-repairable frame or frame components under this coverage is dealer expense. Reimbursement
practices for dealer expenses will be as defined by the Summary of Reimbursement Practices chart found in this bulletin.

Pre-Delivery Repairs
Caterpillar requests dealers to provide a final check-up and make any minor adjustments required prior to delivery
of the equipment to the customer. Normally these check-ups and adjustments include checks for proper equipment
operation, completeness, fluid levels, tire pressure, literature, etc., and are considered as standard dealer new machine
preparations and are not reimbursable. Flashing software during pre-delivery inspection in the absence of product defect
or failure is not reimbursable.
If defects are encountered that cannot be classified as normal pre-delivery inspection, but correspond to a repair, dealers
are requested to complete such repairs under warranty. Since the equipment has not been sold, Caterpillar accepts
pre-delivery claims, including the labor required for repairs during new machine preparations. Labor is reimbursable at
Warranty Cost Labor Rate.
• Pre-delivery repair labor is only allowed when performed (where possible) out of customer’s sight and prior to the
customer’s knowledge of the defect.
• Each incident must be reported on a separate claim and a corresponding SIMS Report must be submitted prior to
claim submission.
• Labor must be broken down appropriately with corresponding SMCS component and job codes, as found in Bulletin 1.09.
• To qualify as a pre-delivery repair, the unit must not exceed the SMU limits outlined in Bulletin 1.12.

Bulletin No. 2.05 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Reimbursement for replacement of new and retread track belts is prorated based on the average wear
percentage of the tread bars on the belt surface. Proration does not apply within the first 12 months or 10% of
wear, whichever comes first.

➤ Calculating User Allowance


The following is the prorated user allowance formula for replacement of failed track belts that are beyond the 12
month or 10% wear limit. This formula calculates the cost allowance Caterpillar gives the customer toward the
purchase of a new replacement belt.
User Allowance = (A-B)x(C)
D
A = Average measured tread bar height at time of failure.
B = Tread Bar height at 100% worn.
C = Markup pricing for the belt.
D = Total usable tread bar height (tread height at new minus tread height at 100% worn).
Factor A (the average measured tread bar height) is obtained by taking 4 tread bar measurements across
the width of the failed track belt at 2 locations around the belt, for a total of 8 measurements. To calculate the
average measured tread bar height, or average belt thickness, if it’s a smooth belt, total the 8 measurements
and divide by 8. The illustrations (on pages 6-7) depict the 4 measurement locations across the width of the
belt.
The following table lists the values for factors B & D in the User Allowance Formula.

Belt User Allowance Formula Factors

Type of Belt

Standard 0.5 in. 2.0 in.
Low Ground or Special Ap 0.5 in. 1.0 in.
Combine Belts 0.31 in. 1.26 in.

Smooth B - Small Asphalt Pavers (AP355) 1.28 in. 0.68 in.
Note: For Smooth Belts, dimension B is now belt thickness when 100% worn. Dimensions
A and B are total belt thickness measurements. See Smooth Belt Illustration on page 7 for
illustration on how to measure thickness.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 2.05

Example:
A failed standard belt on a Challenger Ag tractor has an average measured tread bar height of 1.75 inches.
The Markup pricing is $6500 and the Dealer Net (D/N) price is $5000. For this example, the user allowance
Caterpillar gives the customer toward the purchase of a new replacement belt is:
User Allowance = (A-B)x(C)
D
= (1.75 - 0.5)x($6500)
2.0
= $4062.50
The customer participation is:
Customer Participation = Markup - User Allowance
= $6500 - $4062.50
= $2437.50
Caterpillar reimbursement to the dealer is:
Dealer Reimbursement = D/N price - Customer Participation
= $5000 - $2437.50
= $2562.50
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36

Warranty for Belts Replaced Under Mobil-Trac Belt Warranty


Track belts replaced under the terms of Mobil-Trac Belt Warranty when customer participation is zero or less
than 25% are covered by the prorated Mobil-Trac Belt Warranty for the remainder of the original belt warranty
period. Warranty on such belts cease when the original belt warranty period expires, regardless of when the
belt was replaced.
Track belts replaced under the terms of Mobil-Trac Belt Warranty when customer participation is 25% or
greater receive a new Mobil-Trac Belt Warranty. Thus, the warranty period for the replacement belt starts over.

Warranty Replacement Guidelines


The following replacement guidelines must be used to determine if a track belt should be replaced under the
terms of the Mobil-Trac Belt Warranty. The warranty covers only track belt failures caused by a defect in
material or workmanship and does not cover application related failures.
 Guide block unbonding or missing is when more than 50% of a guide blocks surface is unbonding from
the belt carcass. In such cases, the belt carcass appears smooth where the guide block came off. If a
significant amount of guide block material is still attached to the belt carcass, it indicates an external force
tore the guide block off and is not warrantable.
 Belts with major guide block unbonding or at least three missing adjacent guide blocks due to a defect in
material or workmanship should be repaired or replaced under warranty, as per the following:
Salvage of guide blocks may be a less expensive repair than belt replacement and may prevent the
machine from tracking toward the more worn belt. While covered under the Mobil Trac warranty period,
the warranty will credit parts and reasonable salvage labor at warranty rate for repair of the belt under the
following conditions.
• One third of the guide blocks are missing.
• Three or more adjacent guide blocks are missing.
• Three or more adjacent guide blocks become 50% unbonded from a belt, due to a smooth unbonding
failure.

02.05-07 (05/17) 3
Bulletin No. 2.05 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

In addition, credit is issued for reinforcing all other guide blocks with bolts to prevent future failures. Install
missing bolts on guide blocks and secure all remaining guide blocks on the belt with bolts, per special
instructions in REHS0151.
Or,
Replace the Belt if damage is more than just the guide blocks or the salvage cost exceeds the prorated
Dealer Reimbursement for a new replacement belt.
 Guide block failures not warrantable under Mobil-Trac Belt Warranty include the following causes of
failure:
• Untracking is considered an application or operational problem, assuming the belt tension is correct.
• Extreme Side Hill Applications (more than 20% grade) cause track belts to reach the end of useful
life due to excessive guide block wear before the tread bars reach 100% worn.
• Alignment Problems may cause rapid guide block wear. Alignment problems resulting from a
machine related problem may or may not be warrantable under the machine warranty.
 Missing tread bars - Track belts missing two or more tread bars with little or no parent material left
indicating major unbonding from the belt are warrantable and should be replaced. If the missing tread bars
have significant parent material left on the belt or a section of the belt is torn away, it indicates the failure is
caused by external forces and is not warrantable.
 Torn track belts are not warrantable. Belts torn, split, cracked, missing pieces, or with broken cables
are not usually material or workmanship failures. These failures are caused by improper operation or
application resulting in untracking, ingestion of debris, or material packing in the undercarriage.
Refer to SEBF8351 “Guideline for Reusable Parts” for belt damage causes, assessments and usability.
 Replacement of a mating non-failed belt is not warrantable. When a failed warrantable track belt with
a significant amount of wear is replaced, the customer must decide whether or not to replace the non-failed
mating track belt at the customer’s expense. Putting a new track belt on one side with a heavily worn track
belt on the other side may cause the machine or trailer to drift toward the side of the worn belt.

Rubber Track used on Multi Terrain Loader,


Compact Track Loader and
Mini Hydraulic Excavator
➤ Overview
This bulletin covers warranty coverage, reimbursement, and claim submission instructions for Cat® and Yellowmark™
new rubber tracks used on the Multi Terrain Loader, Compact Track Loader and Mini Hydraulic Excavator.
The rubber track warranty statement applies to:
 Customer purchased replacements, and
 Original equipment rubber tracks, which are part of the Cat machine
It does not apply to rubber track related components, such as rubber wheels. Please see Bulletin 2.01 for
information on rubber wheels.
➤ Warranty Coverage for Rubber Track
The standard warranty period begins on the date of sale to the first user.
 New Premium rubber tracks used on Multi Terrain Loaders, Mini Hydraulic Excavators, and Compact
Track Loaders is 12 months, or 1500 operating hours, whichever occurs first.
 New General Duty rubber tracks used on Multi Terrain Loaders and Compact Track Loaders is 12
months or 1000 operating hours, whichever occurs first.
 Yellowmark rubber tracks used on Multi Terrain Loaders, Mini Hydraulic Excavators, and Compact Track
Loaders is 12 months or 750 operating hours, whichever occurs first.
Rubber track reimbursement allowance for repair or replacement is calculated based on hours accrued. For the first
300 hours, there is no pro-ration applied to Premium and General Duty replacement rubber track reimbursement.
For Yellowmark rubber track, proration will be applied beginning at zero hours.
➤ Calculating User/Customer Participation Percentage and Dealer Reimbursement

A = Track hours at time of failure B = Divided by track hours covered by warranty
User/Customer Participation Amount = Customer % x Markup
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
Dealer Reimbursement = D/N - Customer Participation Amount
Example of a Rubber Track Failure on a Cat Multi Terrain Loader:
 The rubber track has 1000 hours of wear
 Markup pricing is $2592.00
 Dealer Net (D/N) price is $1814.76
User/Customer Participation Percentage = (1000 hours/1500 hours) = 0.6666 or 67%
User/Customer Participation Amount = 0.67 times $2592 = $1736.64
Dealer Reimbursement = $1814.76 - $1736.64 = $78.12
If customer participation exceeds D/N price, then the dealer reimbursement is $0.

Warranty Replacement Guidelines for Rubber Track


Use the following replacement guidelines to determine if a rubber track should be replaced under rubber track
warranty terms. Warranty covers rubber track failures truly caused by a defect in material or workmanship.
Warranty does not cover the following application related failures.
 Torn rubber track is not warrantable. Rubber track that is torn, split, cracked, cut or missing chunks,
is not normally a material or workmanship failure. Delaminates caused by tears, splits, cracks, cuts or
missing chunks are not material or workmanship failures. These failures are caused by improper operation
or application resulting in untracking, or ingestion of debris or packing of material in the undercarriage.
 Worn track is not warrantable. It is normal to have tread and drive lug wear. Wear is not normally
material or workmanship failure. Wear of the rubber track is directly related to the severity of the
application and improper operation.
 Steel embed breakage and separation is not warrantable. Rubber track steel embed failures from
detracking, worn components, excessive input force and deteriorating steel embed adhesion due to
moisture or chemical contact are not normally material or workmanship errors.
 Failure due to steel cord breakage is not warrantable. Rubber track steel cord failures from
overtension, from partial de-tracking, recoil malfunction, improper maintenance and material ingestion
are not normally material or workmanship failures. Steel cord damage from track tears, splits, cracks,
cuts and missing chunks are not normally material or workmanship failures. Steel cord corrosion from
moisture and chemical contact are not normally material or workmanship failures.
 Replacement of a mating non-failed track is not warrantable. When a failed warrantable rubber track
with a significant amount of wear is replaced, the customer must decide whether or not to replace the
non-failed mating rubber track at the customer’s expense.

Warranty for Drums Replaced Under Asphalt Compactor Oscillation


Compaction System Warranty
Drums replaced under the terms of Asphalt Compactor Oscillation Drum Warranty when customer participation is
zero or less than 25% are covered by the prorated Asphalt Compactor Oscillation Drum Warranty for the remainder
of the original drum warranty period. Warranty on such drums ceases when the original drum warranty period
expires, regardless of when the drum was replaced.
Drums replaced under the terms of Asphalt Compactor Oscillation Drum Warranty when customer participation is
25% or greater receive a new drum Warranty. Thus, the warranty period for the replacement drum starts over.

Reimbursement for replacement of new drum is prorated based on the average wear percentage of the thickness of
the drum shell. Proration does not apply within the first 12 months or 10% of wear, whichever comes first.

Calculating User Allowance


The following is the prorated user allowance formula for replacement of failed drums that are beyond the 12 Month
Standard Machine Warranty. This formula calculates the cost allowance Caterpillar gives the customer toward the
purchase of a new replacement drum.
User Allowance = (A-B)x(C)
D
A = Average measured thickness of the drum at time of failure.
B = Drum thickness at 100% worn.
C = Markup pricing for the drum.
D = Total usable drum thickness (drum thickness at new subtracted by drum thickness at 100% worn).
Factor A is the total average drum thickness that is obtained by taking measurements across the length of the
drum (Image 1) in three locations, and at 3 locations around the circumference of the drum (Image 2) for a total of
9 measurements. (demonstrated in illustration below)

Example:
A failed standard Drum on a CB10 asphalt compactor has an average measured drum thickness of XX mm.
The Markup pricing is $XXXXX and the Dealer Net (D/N) price is $XXXXX. For this example, the user allowance
Caterpillar gives the customer toward the purchase of a new replacement drum is:
A = Average measured thickness of the drum at time of failure. (Formula outlined above)
B = Drum thickness at 100% worn.
C = Markup pricing for the drum.
D = Total usable drum thickness (drum thickness at new subtracted by drum thickness at 100% worn).

Dealer Repair Expense Reimbursement


Dealer reimbursement for repair expenses related to Commercial Engines and Generator Sets standard
warranty is per the Reimbursement Practices charts found at the end of this bulletin, in accordance with
reimbursement practices as outlined in Bulletin 1.02, and with the applicable warranty statements found at
https://warranty.cat.com/currstmts.

Warranty Expenses
The following provides details on warranty expenses Caterpillar may or may not reimburse for On-Highway Truck,
Electric Power, Oil & Gas, Marine, Industrial, and Rail applications.

Repair Labor Hours


All labor associated with a repair may not be Caterpillar’s responsibility, as indicated in the appropriate Warranty
Statement. If applicable, labor is limited up to and no more than labor to disconnect and reconnect the engine from/
to its attached equipment, mounting, and support systems. The remaining repair labor hours are then considered
as though the engine is “on the floor” and will be reimbursed according to the applicable Time Requirement Guide
(TRG) found at https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/service/trg.html.
A detailed labor breakdown of segmented times must be claimed using applicable SMCS and job codes in order
to identify labor operations performed.
The following labor is not covered:
• Labor needed to salvage or replace parts made by manufacturers other than Caterpillar
• Labor to remove and install hatches, decking, sheet metal, grates, enclosures*, and ladders
• Labor for fabricating or installing lifts, cribbing components for R&I or separate/connect
• Labor removing furniture, carpeting or flooring material
• Labor for engine compartment detailing
• Costs for transporting the product or equipment in which the product is installed
• Labor for cutting/repairing hulls
*NOTE: Some exceptions apply. Refer to Bulletin 3.19 for additional information.

Cab Type
On-highway truck and pleasure craft engine claims must include the proper cab type field information. Refer to the
CabType Definitions found at https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/service/trg.html.

Travel Expenses
Travel expenses may be considered when a product cannot reasonably be transported to an authorized Caterpillar
dealer or an Authorized Sales and Service Center (ASSC). Reimbursement for such expenses varies based on
the sales model and application and are further defined in the reimbursement charts at the end of this bulletin. For
additional information refer to Bulletin 1.02.
Travel expenses for Cat engines/transmissions sold in on-highway vehicles:
• Not intended or licensed for on-highway use (such as yard spotters, street sweepers, mobile work over rigs,
crane carriers, mobile-ag fertilizer spreaders and mobile sludge injectors), are reimbursable when it is more
economical and/or practical to repair in the field.
• Intended and licensed for on-highway use, are reimbursable if less expensive than towing to an authorized
Caterpillar repair facility or if necessary to perform repairs at an OEM factory.
Towing charges for disabled on-highway vehicles may be reimbursable when both conditions apply:
• If the failure disabled the engine/transmission or further operation would cause more serious damage, and
If the towing charges are customary for the distance from disablement to the nearest authorized Caterpillar
dealer.
NOTE: Please be certain travel is the most economical method and the vehicle can be made operational without
towing, as warranty does not cover both travel and towing.
Freight Charges

2 03.01-41 (11/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 3.01

Americas South and EAME - Inbound surface or airfreight charges for emergency parts shipments from a
Caterpillar Parts Distribution Center to the dealer are reimbursable.
Americas North (Engines) and APD - Inbound surface or airfreight charges for emergency parts shipments from
a source distribution center other than the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center are reimbursable. Freight
charges from the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center are the responsibility of the dealer.
TEPS - The same criteria for premium freight reimbursement applies for all TEPS dealers. Due to the difficulty of a
TEPS dealer knowing the shipping information for freight expenses, Caterpillar dealers should only invoice TEPS
dealers for premium freight expenses when the parts needed to expedite a warranty repair were not available from
the Caterpillar dealer or the Caterpillar dealer’s primary servicing Parts Distribution Center.
➤ Pre-Delivery Repairs
Caterpillar requests dealers to provide a final check-up and make any minor adjustments required prior to delivery
of the equipment to the customer. Normally these check-ups and adjustments include checks for proper equipment
operation, completeness, fluid levels, literature, etc., and are considered as standard dealer new equipment
preparations and are not reimbursable. Flashing software during pre-delivery inspection in the absence of product
defect or failure is not reimbursable.
If defects are encountered that cannot be classified as normal pre-delivery inspection, but correspond to a repair,
dealers are requested to complete such repairs under warranty. Since the equipment has not been sold, Caterpillar
accepts pre-delivery claims, including the labor required for repairs during new equipment preparations.
• Pre-delivery repair labor is only allowed when performed out of customer’s sight (if possible) and prior to the
customer’s knowledge of the defect.
• Each incident must be reported on a separate claim and a corresponding SIMS report must be submitted
prior to claim submission.
• Applicable TRG labor must be claimed and any overage explained in the claim story.
• To qualify as pre-delivery repair, the unit must not exceed SMU limits outlined in Bulletin 1.12.
The following delivery date field information applies for pre-delivery repairs:
• Enter 00NIS00 if the unit is in dealer inventory
• Enter 00IFI00 if the unit is in OEM Factory inventory

Paint Repairs
Paint and other painting materials may be reimbursable due to a Caterpillar defect in material and/or workmanship
in the paint such as inadequate paint coverage or improper adhesion at the factory. After 250 hours of operation or
6 months after shipment, paint issues due to a Caterpillar defect in material and/or workmanship require approval
from a Caterpillar representative prior to the repair. Paint issues due to storage, handling, modifications, addition
of attachments, damage during shipment, or to achieve a desired showroom finish are not reimbursable.
The following claim field information is required for paint repairs:
• Part Number – Enter SP0587
• Group Number – Enter group number of component painted
• Description Code - Enter 06
• Attach photographs of the defective area to SIMSi
• After 250 hours or 6 months, the Caterpillar Service Representative’s name must be included in the claim

Bulletin No. 3.03 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Caterpillar may elect to not participate in a repair during the extended warranty period, if one of the above specified parts/
components fails due to lack of required user maintenance or use of improper fuel, oil, lubricant and/or coolant.

Salvage labor (such as cutting, welding, polishing, boring and milling) associated with the salvage of the warranted parts
under extended warranty is reimbursable when the salvage cost is less than the replacement cost of the part.

(1) Remanufactured Engines except 3208 have an extended warranty period of 36 months, 300,000 miles (482,803 km) or
10,000 operating hours, whichever occurs first after date of delivery to the first user.

(2) Remanufactured 3208 On-Highway Vehicle Engines have an extended warranty period of 36 months, 300,000 miles
(486,000 km) or 3,600 hours, whichever occurs first after date of delivery to the first user.

(3) Extended warranty for the cylinder block casting does not cover block wear that requires counter-boring cylinders for
inserts.

When the cylinder block is damaged beyond repair under extended warranty, a remanufactured short block may be used to
satisfy extended warranty. In such cases, Caterpillar approval is required prior to starting the repair. Please contact your
Cat® distributor.

(4) Extended warranty for the crankshaft does not cover rod or main bearings, since bearings are not considered part of a
crankshaft.

(5) Extended warranty for connecting rods covers only a failure of the rod forging and does not cover failures of a rod bolt,
pin bore bushing or a rod bearing. Any warrantable replacement of a damaged or failed connecting rod under extended
warranty will be with a connecting rod assembly, excluding the rod bearing.

Use of Truck Engines


in Non-Highway Applications
As of August 28, 2015, contents of this document were merged into Bulletin 3.01.

Truck engines (as identified by the truck engine serial number prefix) are subject to the “Engines Used to Power
On-Highway Vehicles” warranty and applicable policies under each of the following conditions:

• When used to power on-highway vehicles (whether or not the vehicles are actually used on-highway).

• When used to power other vehicles capable of being licensed for on-highway use. Example: Railway and
truck terminal yarders.

• When mounted on on-highway vehicles but used to power other devices such as drill rigs and cranes.
Truck engines used in applications not meeting the above criteria are considered industrial applications. Refer
to the appropriate warranty statement for that specific engine application.
It is important that special care be used in determining which warranty applies. The customer should be
given the correct warranty at time of sale to avoid any misunderstanding of coverage. For example, there is a
difference in coverage such as travel and labor reimbursement, etc.
The type of warranty applicable to an engine is also determined by the engine application recorded in the sales
record.
For example, if Caterpillar sells the engine directly to the on-highway vehicle manufacturer, Market Code D10
(truck, except off-highway) is recorded.
In the case of sale by the Dealer, the Dealer should enter the correct information on the Engine Sales Record.

Engine Performance Complaints


(Low Horsepower/High Fuel Consumption)
Effective August 31, 2015, this document was re-written as a job aid.

Caterpillar and/or Dealer participation in costs for investigating low engine horsepower and/or high fuel
consumption complaints is subject to the terms of the warranty. For Caterpillar to approve repairs, it must
be established and documented that a Caterpillar warrantable defect caused improper performance or a
malfunction.
For performance diagnostic information on 3300/3400 on-highway engines, Dealers should refer to the
Truck Performance Diagnostic Guide, Form SEBD0808. In addition, diagnostic information involving either
electronic or mechanical engine control systems is included in many of the Service Manuals for on-highway
vehicle engines. For diagnostic information on the Caterpillar CT11 and CT13 engines Dealers should refer to
Performance Diagnostics VENR1849.
Caterpillar will not approve unnecessary or unsupported fuel system adjustments. Guidelines for performance
repairs are as follows:
Making non-factory-approved setting changes on certified engines may be in violation of Regulatory Agency
law, could carry a civil penalty and would not be claimable. Such changes may lead to engine performance
complaints that are not covered by warranty. Changing fuel settings found to be within specification is not a
reimbursable repair.

On all product where it was necessary to check fuel/governor settings, the following table must be included in
the Warranty Claim Story to prevent overlooking any settings that could affect performance. Failure to provide
this information will lead to a delay in processing and may cause non-allowance of associated Warranty Claims.
Refer to the Engine Information Plate/Ultraplate Film and record the correct specifications in the table. The

the engine is in its original factory configuration.

Engines

Excessive Engine Oil Consumption


Effective August 31, 2015, this document was re-written as a job aid.

Verification of oil use is required before any warranty repair for excessive oil consumption is performed. When a
user contacts a Dealer and registers a complaint about excessive oil use, the Dealer must request that the user
substantiate the oil consumption or participate in an oil consumption test. The Dealer or user must complete an
Oil Consumption Test Report, Form 01-081227. Such reports are required to substantiate Warranty Claims.

Cat Products (Excluding Vocational On-Highway Truck)


Prior to completing an Oil Consumption Test Report, the Dealer should:
 Inspect the vehicle to determine if the complaint is the result of some external problem.
 Question the user to determine that there is nothing unusual about his particular application that could
cause high oil consumption.
After an Oil Consumption Test Report is completed, the fuel-to-oil ratio must be compared to the oil consumption
chart found on page 2 of this bulletin. The chart is for use by Dealer personnel only; it is not intended for
owners or operators.
The chart and the following points will determine if an engine has an oil consumption problem that requires
repair.
1. With the chart, it is Caterpillar’s intention that a defect investigation and repair should be made when a unit
falls within the investigative range, which most oil control complaints do.
2. There are conditions when an engine with oil consumption in the investigative range could have acceptable
oil consumption and thus would not warrant a defect investigation or repair, such as:
 For example: If a fleet of engines all have a low but consistent value, the problem could be the result of
application, driving habits, preventive maintenance, load factors, etc. Neither an investigation nor a repair
would necessarily produce significant improvements.

Bulletin No. 3.18 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

 Another example: A fleet of 3208 units used as city pickup and delivery tractors are shown within the
investigative range at approximately 35 gallons of fuel per quart of oil (140 liters fuel per liter oil) and all
units have approximately 20,000 miles (32,000 km). One other unit, however, is at 18 gallons of fuel per
quart of oil (72 liters fuel per liter oil). This one unit would be the only one requiring an investigation and
repair.
4. If an engine experiences a high deterioration rate, it may require a defect investigation and repair. To
determine deterioration, it is necessary to check oil consumption for at least two consecutive regular
oil change periods. Using the Oil Consumption Test Report, compare the oil consumption data to the
investigation number for the engine in the Oil Consumption Chart. If oil consumption is consistently above
the investigative number it should be repaired. OR, if the oil consumption is consistently trending upwards
for two consecutive oil change periods or more, then the engine should be repaired before oil consumption
falls into the investigative range.
5. Low engine operating temperature can contribute to excessive oil consumption.
6. Blow-by (oil slobber) alone is not enough to justify a warranty claim.
7. Oil consumption repairs should be made only after an engine is confirmed to have an oil consumption
problem. These repairs should be made in accordance with the latest published information on oil
consumption.

Oil Consumption Claim Story Requirements


For oil consumption claims, the Claim Story must include the following:
 The oil to fuel consumption ratio.
 The cause of the oil consumption.
 The condition of the parts that were inspected for determining the cause of oil consumption.

Electronic Control Modules and Flash-files
As of September 4, 2015, contents of this document were moved
to Bulletin 1.29.

Overview
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is often reported as a cause of failure, when the repair simply involved the
flashing of new software. Therefore, this bulletin provides references for required troubleshooting procedures
and details the claiming practices necessary for ECM replacements and flash-file changes for all Caterpillar®
products.

Replacement of Electronic Control Modules


Troubleshooting guides are available in SIS and are intended to prevent unnecessary replacement of ECMs.
The machine or engine serial number can be used with the fault code number to locate specific documents for
troubleshooting guidance. Dealers should follow all documented troubleshooting steps when handling ECM
repairs, and should work through their TC (Technical Communicator) to contact the DSN or ECM Hotline for
further troubleshooting assistance.
This information also applies to over-the-counter ECM sales. The claiming dealer is responsible for verifying
Caterpillar defects in materials & workmanship.
Note: Dealer TC, DSN and ECM Hotline involvement does not automatically guarantee claim payment. ECM
claims will be processed based upon claim merit.

Claiming Practices
If an Electronic Control Module (ECM) was not replaced during a repair, the ECM part number cannot be
used as the part causing failure on a claim. Claims involving re-flashing should use the flash-file part number
as part causing failure and the group number listed on the chart. Use the chart on page 2 when claiming for
failures on an engine, powertrain, implement, monitoring system electronic control module, flash-file, or when
making flash-file changes.

If it is determined that the ECM is the part causing failure, report the part number that is on the failed ECM serial
number plate. In some cases, a new part may have been substituted to fill a remanufactured order. Using the
part number that is on the failed ECM serial number plate will assure that ECM reliability data is accurate.
Dealers should summarize their troubleshooting procedure in the claim story and include the following
information:
• SIS Literature Number used
• ECM harness part number used
• Active codes and results of troubleshooting steps
• DSN Service Request number or ECM Hotline contact name and date, if applicable
Note: When re-flashing software, SP0775 substitute part number will no longer be allowed as part causing
failure. Dealers should use the old software part number as the part causing failure. Do not use the new
software part number as part causing failure.
Note: All claims should use the Cat® Group Number in the claim (i.e. xxx-xxxx), not an SMCS Code.

Global Warranty Parts Return Handling


& Freight Charges

Overview
This bulletin provides dealers with guidelines for handling failed part return requests in support of failure analysis, CPI
projects, Caterpillar Service claims, field follow projects, Service Letter programs, and defective parts stock.
Return only those parts which are requested by a specific “Parts Return Request” (PRR), Information Request
through the Send It Back (SIB) system, or as specified by a Service Letter.
When using remanufactured products to replace a failed part or component, the failed part or component will
become Reman Core.
Refer to Caterpillar Remanufacturing Division’s website at https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/parts/reman.html for

Bulletin No. 4.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

• Caterpillar employees should not request parts from embargoed countries. Caterpillar employees
may contact their Regional Export Compliance Program Manager for additional assistance and
guidance on compliance risk or concern areas. The contact list is available on
https://codeofconduct.cat.com/en/ethics-compliance/export-controls.html – Under “Guidance
Material” click on “Countries of Concern & General Prohibitions” for the latest information concerning
embargos and concerns.

NOTICE
If your dealership is in a country that has regulatory or governmental restrictions preventing you from
shipping a failed part to a final destination, please mark the PRR request as “No Part” and provide a
comment in the field, “part cannot be shipped because of regulatory or governmental restrictions”.

Mark & Identify Warranty Parts


On the warranty parts, highlight defects such as cracks, sand holes, porous castings, defective welds, brazes, and
etc. Felt marking pens, metal dye or fluorescent paint from a spray can are excellent ways to mark the material.
The identifying mark should encircle the defect, rather than cover or fill it. Failure to comply with this request may
result in returned parts being scrapped and/or claim credit being denied.

Global Warranty Parts Return Handling & Freight Charges


Connecting rod bearings must be marked according to cylinder number and taped together in sequential order for
shipment. Main crankshaft bearings must be marked and taped together in sequential order from front to rear for
shipment.
The blue Warranty Tag (Order # 01-003883-14 (4804), found at https://catpublications.com, (using 01-003883 to
search) is used by dealers to identify removed warranty claim parts that are to be held for possible parts return
request by Caterpillar (see Illustration #1). Fill out the tags, using a waterproof ink marker to prevent blurring should
the tags get wet. List the Caterpillar Claim Number, Core Credit Request number (CCR), if applicable, to a Reman
core transaction, dealer code, dealer name, quantity, part number, work order-claim no. and serial number on the
tag.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 4.02

➤ Protect Held Warranty Parts


All removed parts (part causing failure and related parts) that are being held according to the Retention Schedule
must be protected against damage during the holding period. Until the claim is paid, the dealer owns these
parts. Until the holding period has expired Caterpillar owns the parts. Thus, dealers should protect their and our
investment. The following are storage guidelines that Caterpillar expects dealers to follow:
• Parts must be cleaned (unless this destroys evidence of the cause of failure) and protected from the
elements. All fluids should be drained according to Hazmat Regulations.
• Coat machined surfaces with anti-rust compound. This preserves parts so a technical analysis of the
cause of failure can be made.
• Engine crankshaft main and connecting rod bearings must be marked according to cylinder number &
taped together in sequential order.
• All components that are disassembled for determining cause of failure must be reassembled for
storage. Bolts and nuts only need to be finger tight.
• Protect defective radiator cores and coolers by using adequate crating and proper hoisting equipment.
Do not bend the header plates on radiator cores.
• After disassembly of turbochargers, inspection and determination of the cause of failure, dealers must
reassemble the unit. It is necessary to tighten the nuts and bolts a little more than finger tight. Clamps
must be properly installed and tightened.
• Use protective caps and plugs on fuel injection nozzles and injectors.
Hold & Store Warranty Parts
In some cases, Caterpillar may request additional information, digital photographs or the return of held warranty
claim parts. Removed warranty claim parts that must be retained should be systematically stored in a secured
and limited access area. Good control of held warranty claim parts will allow dealers to promptly respond to
return or information requests or to promptly dispose of parts not requested for return, thereby minimizing costs.
Retention Schedule
Warranty Parts without Core Value
The following is the time schedule that dealers must retain (hold) removed warranty claim parts for possible
shipment to Caterpillar.
Product Improvement Program (PIP) and/or Product Support Program (PSP) claim parts that are replaced do not
have to be held by dealers, unless the specific Service Letter indicates that they are to be retained. These parts
should be rendered useless and scrapped at the completion of the repair.
All other warranty claim parts must be held in storage for 30 days from the claim receive date. If a Parts Return
Request (PRR) is issued in Send It Back (SIB) for a warranty claim part within the 30 day period, the dealer is to
process the PRR request and return the warranty claim part. Do not wait 30 days before returning the warranty
claim part for failure analysis.
Note: Warranty claim parts for JLG products sold prior to January 1, 2014, must be held in storage for 90 days.
Refer to Bulletin 2.07.
Dealers can generate a weekly “Retention Report” in SIB. Warranty claim parts listed on the report should be
checked for registration dates, and once the 30 day hold period has expired the parts should be destroyed,
rendered useless, and scrapped by the dealer. Scrapped metal or other material can then be sold by the dealer,
unless another disposition has been authorized by Caterpillar. Such parts may not be used or sold (except for
scrap) without the agreement of Caterpillar.
Note: Dealers should comply with local laws and regulations for scrapping and disposal of any hazardous material.
➤ Warranty Parts with Core Value
Reman parts and parts with core value must be held for 15 days after the claim receive date.
• If a Parts Return Request (PRR) is issued for a warranty claim Reman part in Send It Back (SIB)
within a 15 day period, the dealer is to process the PRR request and follow the shipping instructions
in the REMAN Core Management section of this bulletin. Do not wait 15 days before returning the
warranty claim part for analysis.

04.02-17 (08/18) 3 ➤ Indicates change.


Bulletin No. 4.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

• If no PRR is received by the dealer within 15 days, the part can be returned for Core Value.
A core involved in a Goodwill settlement can be returned as soon as it is verified that the Goodwill Claim has
been settled. The 15 day period does not apply to cores involved in Goodwill settlements. (Refer to Warranty
Philosophy, Bulletin 1.01, at https//warranty.cat.com/wtyguide for additional information.)

Parts Return Request Notification: Send It Back (SIB)


Caterpillar will scan service claims promptly after receipt for compliance with basic and special requirements,
and to determine if Caterpillar will require parts to be returned. When removed warranty claim failed parts are
requested for return, the dealer will be notified through SIB.
PRRs will be generated daily and added to the Send It Back website at https://senditback.cat.com/. Dealers should
check SIB regularly for new parts and information return requests. SIB is the required method of communicating
parts and information requests.
➤ Dealer Responsibilities for Parts Return Requests
Americas – North Dealers
There are a few steps in the parts return process that each dealer must perform after having been notified of a
PRR:
• Locate the parts before responding. If part is not available respond in SIB using appropriate reason.
• Respond to every Part Return Request or Information Request promptly within 14 days.
• Respond individually for each pickup location.
• If the part has a Reman core value, create a Core Credit Request (CCR) in CMIS 2 system (Dealer
system) and add the PRR number in the appropriate field for core credit. (See Dealer Procedures for
Returning Parts Return Request Cores – page 7/8)
• Package parts using the documents obtained through Caterpillar.
• Blue Warranty Tag (Order # 01-003883-14 (4804)) (Refer to link on page 2 to order.)
• PRR Label
• Ensure that each part is individually labeled.
• Dealers provide packaged parts to the specified carriers by the Caterpillar schedule.
Dealer responsibilities for Parts Return Requests - Bundled Shipments: Individual returns can be consolidated
into one large container when multiple failed parts are being called back to the same location and they are utilizing
the same carrier. Print two PRR labels, one for the individual shipping package and the other for placement in a
see-through envelope and attached to the larger shipping container.

Bulletin No. 4.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Parts Return Request Response


Return of removed warranty claim parts to Caterpillar should only be made when specifically requested by
Caterpillar via a request in SIB system. Parts received without adequate identification will be scrapped or returned
at the dealer’s expense.
Dealers should respond to each PRR or Information Request promptly in the SIB system within 14 days.
There are two types of responses: a part ‘Not Available’ response and a ‘Process’ response. When using Part “Not
Available”, the dealer will record the reason the part is not available for return in SIB. The dealer will then close
the request and end the return process. No further action is necessary.

More than one part may be processed at the same time, but only if the parts are at the same location, and will be
shipped to the same final destination.

In Americas South, EAME, and APD; the PRR shipping preference should be marked as ocean, air, or ground.
Dealers should coordinate shipments based on the preference indicated on the PRR.

Information Request Response


Dealers may receive Information Requests PRRs. If an Information Request is received, it means more information
must be provided to Caterpillar. The information to be provided could include one or any combination of the
following: providing a digital photo, the component serial number, a date code, contact the engineer or include
additional details. Information Requests must also be responded to within the 14 day time line requirement. The
parts used to fulfill the request are required to be held until the 30 day retention period has expired, or the part can
be returned for core credit after the 15 day retention period.
Urgent Requests
Dealers may see a red flag icon to the left of their part return or information request. The red flag indicates an
Urgent Request. When a request is marked as Urgent, it takes priority over all other requests, and needs to be
responded to immediately. In Americas North, some requests may get special handling for shipment scheduling
and are shipped using an expedited method. If special handling is required, requestor should notify LPC_FPRP_
Support@cat.com, to discuss shipping details when PRR request is created.

Parts Return Requests From Service Engineers


In some cases, a Caterpillar Service Engineer may request the return of failed parts, without any knowledge of a
pending service claim. Such parts should be returned according to the Service Engineer’s instructions via SIB. In
these cases the request must include a dealer work order number or a dealer claim number.
For parts being returned in response to a Service Engineer’s request, dealers should include a copy of the PRR
Label and indicate if a service claim is to be submitted. The opportunity for a duplicate request when/if a warranty
claim is submitted will be minimized when the Service Engineer uses the SIB system.

NOTICE
If a SIB request has been made on any part that is known to have been contaminated with a health
or transportation hazardous material: (e.g. parts exposed to high levels of battery acid, or radioactive
material, or other hazardous waste):
• Notify the SIB Support Line (senditback_support@cat.com) prior to returning failed part
• Contact the Requestor to provide details, and determine if the failed part is needed even
though it is contaminated.
• If contaminated part is needed, do not ship the part via standard SIB process
• Collaborate with SIB requestor to determine and comply with appropriate
special shipping precautions/requirements for the specific hazard.

Warranty Parts Return Request Procedure for Cores


Dealers are requested to ship cores to Caterpillar on a request basis for warranty claim verification and quality
analysis using the Parts Return Request (PRR) process enabled by Send It Back (SIB) system. The movement of
a “core” represents both a physical and financial transaction flow. Therefore, Parts Return Request must flow from
the dealer to their responsible financial organization and then to the final requesting destination in order to assure
that appropriate financial transactions will take place:
1. Dealers are properly paid for the core. Contact your local Reman representative for additional assistance
regarding core credits.
2. Entitlements for the dealer and the responsible financial organization are properly recorded.
3. Account for Inter-company invoicing between the legal entities making the shipment of core to the final
destination.
U.S. and Canadian dealers, as well as Americas South Dealers (excluding Brazil), and Mexican dealers not
sourcing parts from Monterrey Distribution Center, can return core directly to the SIB requestor’s address when
shipment is not via ocean freight. For all other dealers, PRR cores should be returned to the dealer’s normal
Reman/core processing facility.
Reference SELD0039 Shipping Instructions; SELD0122 Reman Policy and Core Management; SELD0040 Core
Management Systems and Operations Procedures; and SELD0300 Reman Core Return Packaging Instructions
and Guidelines and Best Practices for all core return or warranty core return transactions located on the Reman
website: https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/parts/reman/core.html

Dealer Procedures for Returning Part Return Request (PRR) Cores


This procedure applies to dealers that have as their assigned stocking facility as Grimbergen (GDC),
Russian Federation Distribution Center (RFDC), Johannesburg Distribution Center (JDC), Asia Distribution
Center (ADC), China Distribution Center (CDC), Melbourne Distribution Center (MeDC), Piracicaba
Distribution Center (PDC), Caterpillar Japan LTD or San Luis Distribution Center (SLP).
1. Caterpillar Engineer issues PRR to dealer via SIB.
2. Dealer to issue CCR in their dealer business system, indicates that the core is a PRR, and transmits to
CMIS 2 or directly enters the CCR in CMIS 2 as appropriate.
3. Dealer creates a unique shipment for the PRR item in CMIS 2 shipment processing application (required for
all dealer shipments).
4. Dealer physically tags the PRR core with a blue Warranty Tag (Order # 01-003883-14 (4804) - refer to link
on page 2 to order) and includes a completed paper CCR for the item (dealer retains yellow CCR copy).
5. Dealer sends an email to the core processing contact indicating that PRR item(s) have been shipped to their
facility for expediting. Dealer will ship the core with a blue Warranty Tag attached to the component, and one
PRR Label inside the shipping box. Two PRR Labels on the outside of the box in a waterproof envelope or
bag with the bar codes showing.
6. Dealer will ship the core to the designated inspection facility.
7. Cat inspection facility upon receipt will recognize that it is a PRR since it is tagged properly with a blue
Warranty Tag, the paper CCR, and the PRR Labels. The inspection facility will perform inspection and
payment functions (when applicable) and other entries in CMIS 2 and ship failed part(s) to the designated
requestor facility, OR to another Reman facility/Caterpillar facility for cross-docking to the designated
requestor facility, complying with normal export and import customs procedures. Inspection facility will retain
pink copy of CCR.
Note: If this request is within CHINA, the Reman Shanghai inspector will complete the CCR as being received.
Then inspection facility will process a manual Bill of Lading and ship the core to the China requesting engineer
or requestor.

04.02-17 (08/18) 7
Bulletin No. 4.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

8. When the component arrives in the US or China, the engineer must complete the paper CCR as received
and disposition it. Engineer will keep the green copy of CCR and return the white copy of CCR to the attention
of Core Services Supervisor in (US) Corinth, MS or (China) Reman Shanghai. The physical core is then
returned to the Reman Core processing facility (Corinth or Shanghai) for final disposition to scrap, salvage, or
forward for outbound export shipment to Corinth or local Reman Shanghai plant for use, as appropriate.
8A. When the component arrives at the regional destination, the engineer performs the failure analysis. After
the analysis is complete, the part will be returned with the paper CCR to the regional inspection facility. If the
part is destroyed during testing, the engineer must return the paper CCR with the word “scrap” marked on
the paper CCR to the Attention of the regional inspection facility handling the failed part.
➤ This procedure applies to dealers that are assigned a stocking facility located in the
United States and assures for proper core payment to dealer.
1. Caterpillar Engineer issues PRR to dealer via Send It Back at https://senditback.cat.com/.
2. Dealer to issue CCR in their dealer business system, indicates that the core is a PRR, and transmits to CMIS
2 or directly enters the CCR in CMIS 2 as appropriate.
3. Any dealer outside of continental USA returning engine long or short block cores directly to the United States
(via Canada) to US Caterpillar facility must complete EPA form.
4. Dealer physically tags the PRR core with a blue Warranty Tag (Order # 01-003883-14 (4804) - refer to link
on page 2 to order) and ships failed core with blue Warranty Tag to final destination shown on PRR request.
5. After analysis, the physical core is then returned to the Corinth Core processing facility for final disposition to
scrap or salvage as appropriate.
If the PRR involves the return of an Engine Core, Short Block, or Long Block, use the following procedure
(also refer to Reman website for policy SELD0039 Shipping Instructions regarding ENGINE CORE
RETURN PROCESSING AND SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS EPA FORM 3520-21 AND EMISSION CONTROL
INFORMATION LABEL.)

Dealer Instructions for Shipping Engine Cores, Short Block, or Long Block
These instructions are for all dealers shipping engine cores to any Caterpillar facility.
1. All dealers to perform normal CCR instructions assign case and create a shipment in (Core Management
Information System) CMIS 2. The returning engine core serial number must be on the CCR for all engines.
This applies to all dealers worldwide. If the serial number for the returning engine core is not on the block, use
the original engine serial number in the machine.
2. U.S. dealers within the 48 contiguous states are excluded from the Emission Control Information Label and the
EPA form 3520-21 requirement and, at this time, creating a shipment within CMIS 2. However, the returning
engine core serial number must be on the CCR.
3. For all engine, long and short block returns, dealers/subsidiaries must complete the following;
• Engines will require an Emission Control Information Label which will contain the failed engine serial
number and CCR number, this label MUST be affixed to the engine prior to shipping. Caterpillar will supply
the labels to the dealers/subsidiaries for all engine cores that are imported directly into the U.S. Contact the
Corinth Core Services Group mentioned below for labels.
• Engine, long and short blocks will also require an EPA Form 3520-21. Dealers/subsidiaries must not ship
any engine, long or short block until an email is received from the Corinth Core Services Group with a
completed EPA Form 3520-21. This form must accompany all other documents which go to the forwarders
for shipment. We expect each dealer/subsidiary to submit a request for the EPA Form 3520-21 to Caitlin
Moon (Moon_Caitlin@cat.com) for Canada, and all international subsidiary locations. Contact Andrew
Turcu (Turcu_Andrew@cat.com) for all EPA forms for Mexico, South America and the Caribbean. The
email requests must include the CCR number, case number, part number being returned, and failed serial
number for engines or repaired serial number for long and short blocks.

➤ Indicates change. 8 04.02-17 (08/18)


Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 4.02

4. Dealers making shipments directly to a non U.S. Core Inspection Facility are not required to affix the label on
the returning engine core. This will be done at their assigned Core Inspection Facility since they will prepare the
appropriate documents for importation into the U.S. (See illustration #2, for the Emission Control Information
label). These labels will be tracked by engine serial number and CCR processed by each dealer and inspection
facility. These labels must not be used for any other purpose or affixed to any other Reman core.

Illustration #2

Advanced Core Credit for Part Return Requests Involving Core Returns
Only Americas North and South dealers (excluding Brazil) and Mexican dealers not facing San Luis Distribution
Center qualify to receive an advance core credit for all PRRs when they follow the prescribed PRR procedures
as stated above. Other dealers do not qualify for this program since there are special core buyback programs for
local regulations that restrict using this practice.

Flow of Failed Parts Returns with Core Value


Please refer to SELD0122-13 (https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/parts/reman/core.html - Under PARTS - Search
Policies for media documents) “Flow of Failed Parts Returns with Core Value” table to understand the flow of
a failed part requested back for failure analysis that has Reman core value. The table shows the Distribution
Services Division, Caterpillar legal entity, the dealer locations, the location of designated inspection facilities, and
the possible destinations for failed parts with core value. Requestors must follow these procedures for all Failed
Part Return Requests that involve parts with a core value. Dealers are expected to adhere to these instructions
and cannot be overridden by the Requestor.

Establish Cause of Failure on Failed Cores


When using remanufactured products to replace a failed part or component, the failed part or component will be
returned to Caterpillar as a core return for remanufacturing. Prior to return of the failed core, the dealer must
establish the cause of failure to determine if warranty applies.
The failed core should be disassembled enough to determine the cause of failure and the extent of damage to the
parts. The core must then be completely reassembled for return to Caterpillar.

EPA and/or Customs.
Failure to comply with EPA and Customs requirements for importing engines may result in engines being detained
at the border, denied entry, seized, exported, or destroyed. Penalties may also be assessed, up to $44,539 per
engine or $270,000 per incident.
General rule: for an engine or piece of equipment to gain entry, it must either be: (1) EPA certified and labeled
accordingly; (2) EPA exempted and labeled accordingly; or (3) excluded from EPA emission standards.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Returning an Engine to the U.S.


These instructions are for all Service Engineers/Requestor and Dealers that will be returning engines to any U.S.
based Caterpillar facility for evaluation, testing and/or eventual disposal.
1. If a Caterpillar Service Engineer/Requestor is (1) requesting an engine to be returned for failure analysis, or
(2) has agreed, upon dealer’s request, to allow a dealer to return an engine (and not the requested failed
engine parts) to the U.S., then Caterpillar Service Engineer/Requestor will create an “Information” Parts
Return Request (PRR) in Send It Back (SIB). The Service Engineer/Requestor shall request from the dealer
a photograph of all of the engine’s labels. If the photographs reveal that the engine does not have an EPA
Emissions Controlled Label, the Service Engineer/Requestor must request an EPA Exemption label, and
must instruct the dealer not to ship the engine until the engine has been labeled/re-labeled with the proper
Exemption Label.
For questions concerning interpretation of labels, contact “Engine Certification/0A/Caterpillar” (See
below for instructions for obtaining an EPA Exemption Label.)
To request an exemption please visit: https://largepower.cat.com/en/erc/compliance/exemptions.html
2. Upon confirming, through photographs provided by the dealer, that the engine has an EPA Exemption label
affixed to it, the Service Engineer/Requester must complete the Declaration Form. (See below for instructions
for completing the Declaration Form).
3. When the Declaration Form has been completed, the Service Engineer/Requestor shall create a “Parts Return
Request” and attach a .PDF file of the Declaration Form in the Send It Back (SIB) Parts Return Request (PRR)
for the Dealer responsible for shipping the engine to the U.S. The Service Engineer/Requestor must retain
the completed Declaration Form for five years and must be able to promptly provide a copy upon request. It
is recommended that a copy of the photograph of the applied EPA engine labels be kept with the copy
of the declaration form. Upon receipt of the completed Declaration Form, the dealer will print one copy of the
Declaration Form and include it in the shipping paperwork that the dealer provides to the freight forwarder. It
is recommended that a copy of the photograph of the applied EPA engine labels be sent with the copy
of the declaration form to the freight forwarder.
The dealer will also retain a copy of the Declaration Form to keep on file. It is recommended that a copy of
the photograph of the applied EPA engine labels be kept with the copy of the declaration form.
4. All shipments destined for the U.S. must include certain shipping documents to be allowed entry into the
U.S. Refer to “Dealers In Americas South/Asia Pacific/EAME - For Parts with No Core Value” on page 13 for
shipping instructions.

Bulletin No. 4.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Packaging & Handling Guidelines


There are packaging requirements that dealers must follow for shipping parts that have been requested for failure
analysis via Send It Back. For Americas South/Asia Pacific/EAME dealers, each Parts Return Request (PRR)
will state the Requestor’s preference for the method of shipment, air, ocean or ground. For Americas North and
Canadian dealers, the shipping is scheduled by Caterpillar. (Exception - when Canadian dealer ships engine
directly to Perkins, UK)
Correctly packaged parts are less likely to be damaged during shipment. The following are general guidelines for
correct packaging of all Caterpillar requested parts returns:
• When possible, use the crate or box from which the new part or component was removed for returning
the damaged or defective part.
• Pack containers properly. Use containers that have adequate strength and attach them to a pallet.
For loose parts use dividers between items in cartons, or bag individually to preserve the physical
evidence of the failure. Always pack heavier items at the bottom. Packing foam, Styrofoam pieces,
paper or other packing material should be used generously to protect and stabilize the part.
• Electrical circuit boards should be placed in electrostatic bag.
• Palletize large, heavy items. Items not suitable for containers should be banded to pallets.
• Cover all part openings and protect exposed part surfaces. When possible, package larger material
so it can be handled with a lift truck. This greatly reduces handling time and minimizes potential
damage. When loading the truck, do not stack heavy items on crushable items.
• All fluids should be drained according to Hazmat Regulations.
• Radiator core assemblies and other easily damaged parts should be loaded carefully. They can easily
be damaged by load shift.
• Assign one specific individual to be responsible for the packing of all parts returns for shipment.

Identification & Consolidation for Shipment


Keep all requested parts for a PRR together. Each box must be identified by its PRR Labels containing the PRR
for that specific PRR Request.
Each part must be individually labeled with a PRR Label and country of manufacture (country of origin) regardless
of the mode of shipment. Each PRR Label should be in a waterproof envelope or bag on the outside of the box
with the bar codes showing. Make sure to capture the actual weight for each part.
For Dealer scheduled shipments: When parts are to be shipped to the same location, dealers are requested to
consolidate parts from several parts return requests into a single container or pallet. Do not delay part returns for
consolidation. When returned parts are consolidated in the same container or pallet, it is imperative that parts associated
with the same service claim or work order be individually packaged and identified with the corresponding PRR Labels,
tags, and are packaged or boxed together. In addition, copies of Caterpillar’s PRR Label and other associated
documentation, such as CCRs, must be inserted in a waterproof envelope or bag with the requestor’s name
showing. The waterproof envelope or bag must be affixed to the related package or container.
Returned parts that are received without corresponding PRR Label will be scrapped or returned collect to the
dealer at Caterpillar’s discretion. Dealers located in Asia Pacific, EAME, & Americas South should include an
additional copy of the PRR Label within the shipping box.
When more than one container is needed for all the returned parts associated with a specific service claim or work
order, all of the containers must be individually labeled and tagged with one of the containers identified as having
the documentation included.
• Note Dealers: In situations where the Comments field indicates a different address than shown on the PRR
label, dealers should contact Senditback support email address for additional assistance.

12 04.02-17 (08/18)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 4.02

Dealers in Americas North


All requested parts must be shipped to the destination indicated on the request.
Caterpillar will group all parts into loads based on the location, destination and weight of the parts. Cat Logistics will
then schedule all shipments with the carriers. The shipping documents, known as the Dealer Pak, will be created
by Caterpillar and delivered to dealers via email and SIB.
Each Dealer Pak will contain one part label per part in the shipment and, depending on the mode of shipment,
additional documents may be required. Each common carrier shipment will contain two copies of the Bill of Lading
with a detailed packing list of each part, a container label and the individual part labels.

Parts will be returned to final delivery location indicated on the Parts Return Request (PRR) label.

Documentation for Surface and Air Shipments from Canada


The following documents are required and will be provided to dealers for surface and air shipments from Canada:
• Two (2) copies of the Invoice for Customs.
• Two (2) copies of the Bill of Lading: one copy should be placed with the shipment; the other copy
should be given to the driver.
• Include one (1) original copy of EPA form 3520-21 for all engines shipped into the USA. (Includes
those engines in machines, gen-sets or stand alone.)
• For Engines with Reman Core value refer to “Dealer Instructions for Shipping Engine Cores” on page 8.
• For Engines/Machines without Reman Core value refer to “Return Engine/Machine to US no Core
Value” for detailed instructions on page 10.
On the Invoice, for Customs purposes, dealers are required to complete the unit value and extended value for
each part included in the shipment. Dealers must also complete the country of origin, which can be obtained by
inspecting the parts. If no country of origin is specified on the part, dealers should specify their current location as
the country of harvest. Dealers should specify the currency units used to determine the part value.
For Surface Shipments from Canada
Fax the Bill of Lading with the carrier Pro Number and Commercial Invoice to:
Danielle Matschiner (Formally Brogdon)
National Account Manager
Licensed Custom House Broker
NCBFAA Certified Customs Specialist
Fax: 1-309-673-4133

For Air Shipments from Canada


DHL Global Forwarding is Caterpillar’s U.S. broker for air shipments. Copies of all shipping documents (including
commercial invoices) should be sent to Caterpillar.ord@DHL.com.

Dealers in Americas South/Asia Pacific/EAME - For Parts with No Core Value


Dealers will group all parts into loads based on the location, destination and weight of the parts. Dealers in
Americas South, Asia Pacific, and EAME will schedule all shipments with the carrier. Dealers should refer to the
following links for shipping instructions:
• For final destinations going to the US – follow instructions found:
https://cat.app.box.com/s/jvwwywo2b0e1dt2m74stq4cairdc5cd2/file/76921567409

• For final destinations to non-US destinations:
https://cat.app.box.com/s/jvwwywo2b0e1dt2m74stq4cairdc5cd2

Dealers should refer to Requestor comment field for additional instructions given at the time the request was
created in SIB. Dealers are responsible for entering shipping and tracking information in SIB.

04.02-17 (08/18) 13
Bulletin No. 4.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Dealers will add the PRR number in the Shipping Document (Proforma Invoice). If the PRR number is not associated
with the customs (Proforma) invoice, then the freight forwarder will not accept the shipment. Use the PRR number as
the Customs Invoice Number in the shipping document.
An example of a Proforma Invoice may be found below.
Example of Proforma Invoice

When returning a failed part, Country of Origin (COO) must be identified. The COO should be indelibly marked on the
part. Depending on the condition of the failed part, it may be necessary to use a bright light to locate COO.
If the COO for the part is not stamped on the part, or designated on the outer most container (box) then use Country
of Harvest.
Example: When a dealer removes a failed part from a machine or higher assembly and the COO cannot be
identified then, the Country of Origin becomes the Country where the part was removed from said machine or
higher assembly
For instance, if a piston fails in an engine located in Japan, and is requested back for failure analysis, and the failed piston
does not have the Country of Origin (COO) indelibly marked on the piston then the Country of Harvest would be Japan.
In the case of unused parts on the shelf in Caterpillar packaging, the COO would be the COO noted on the carton.

information for each destination.

Freight Claims
Dealers in Americas North
Parts shipments are scheduled by Caterpillar and prepaid so dealers will not be reimbursed for the cost of freight to
return parts. Internal dealer parts handling costs will not be reimbursed. Claims related to PRR incidents can be subject
to reprocessing at any time. Caterpillar retains the option of debiting the dealer for credit previously extended, if the
analysis of the returned parts justifies it, or if parts regarding a specific Warranty Claim were not returned.

Dealers In Americas South/Asia Pacific/EAME/Canada


Caterpillar will reimburse the dealer for the shipping charges to return a failed part according to the PRR instructions.
Americas South, Asia Pacific and EAME dealers should submit a Freight Charge Claim to receive reimbursement
for usual and customary shipping charges. Usual and customary shipping charges include:
• Freight, custom duties and taxes (if applicable)
• Caterpillar will not reimburse cost for fines, demurrage fees, or cost associated with incorrect shipping documents.
• Internal dealer parts handling costs will not be reimbursed.
When submitting a Freight Charge Claim, indicate in the “Claim Comments Field”:
• The characters “PRR” followed by the request number (e.g. PRR SIB1070059)

14 04.02-17 (08/18)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 4.02

In the “Claim Story” include the following information:


• Shipping Invoice, Issuer Name, Date, and Number, and Date of PRR
• Submit the Freight Charge Claim as Miscellaneous Code: “PRRFRT”
Note: Dealer is required to keep the shipping invoice on file for Warranty review if asked.

Six different situations may exist when claiming for Parts Return Request freight charges:

1. The PRR freight charges are known prior to the submission of related incident claim.
Include all claimable freight charges on the related Incident Claim under Miscellaneous expenses with the usual
required explanation and documentation in the claim story.

2. The PRR freight charges are only known after the related Incident Claim has already been submitted.
Submit an Additional Information Claim (PD 20) to the one related to the actual incident. Indicate in the Claim Comments
Field the characters “PRR” followed by the request number. List under Miscellaneous expenses all claimable freight
charges with the usual required explanation and documentation. Do not include any previously listed item. Submit the
Additional Information Claim only after the receipt of the related Incident Claim Settlement Notice.
3. The PRR is not related to any claimable incident, but probably linked to a SIMS report.
Submit a standard Claim with the standard heading including all information as if it was the related Incident Claim,
but use a Part Description (PD) code of 56. Indicate in the Claim Comments Field the characters “PRR” followed
by the request number. List under Miscellaneous expenses, all claimable freight charges with the usual required
explanation and documentation.

4. The PRR concerns Parts Stock items for which a Parts Stock Claim has not yet been submitted.
Include the claimable Freight charges on the related Parts Stock Incident. Claim under Miscellaneous expenses
with the usual required explanation and documentation.

5. The PRR freight charges are only known after the related Parts Stock Claim has already been submitted.
Submit a Supplemental, Additional Information, Claim (PD 20) to the one related to the actual Parts Stock incident.
Indicate in the Claim Comments Field the characters “PRR” followed by the request number if applicable. List under
Miscellaneous expenses all claimable freight charges with the usual required explanation and documentation. Do
not include any previously listed item. Submit the Additional Information Claim only after the receipt of the related
Parts Stock Incident Claim Settlement Notice.

6. Several PRRs related to several different incidents, claims, etc. are SHIPPED TOGETHER to the SAME
DESTINATION and result in ONE SINGLE PRR one single PRR freight charge/invoice.
All PRRs included in such a shipment can be consolidated in one single PRR Freight Charge Claim. Select the
Incident Claim which produces the major part of the shipping costs (consider Weight, Volume and possible Invoice
details) and list all PRR claimable freight charges on this claim under Miscellaneous expenses. List in the Claim
Story all other PRR Numbers and related Incident Claims. A consolidated PRR Freight Charge Claim must be an
Additional Information Claim (PD 20). Indicate in the Claim Comments Field the characters “PRR” followed by the
request number of the part with the most freight.
Claims related to PRR incidents can be subject to reprocessing at any time. Caterpillar retains the option of
debiting the dealer for credit previously extended, if the analysis of the returned parts justifies it or if parts regarding
a specific Warranty Claim were not returned.

Claim Timeliness
All PRR Freight Claims must be submitted within 60 days from shipment/return of the part(s).

Denied or Non-Allowed Debited Claims


If responses are not recorded in SIB within 14 days after issuance of the PRR or Information Request, any
associated service claims may be denied or non-allowed, depending on the specifics of the service claim.

be considered for warranty.

Contesting Debited Claims of “Parts Not Received as Requested”


A contact name (debit requestor) and phone number is provided in many debit claim stories. When this contact
information is provided, the process to contest begins with contacting that person directly by phone or email. Do
not submit a new claim. Dealer must initiate contest action for the debited claim within the Contested Claims time
limit set forth in Bulletin 1.13. For debits that result from not returning parts requested via Send-It-Back, proof of
the shipment on a date prior to debit action may be provided to the Cat debit requestor for consideration. Additional
information regarding the claim may be required to contest debit issued for other reasons. If the debit requestor
agrees that debit was incorrect they will initiate a debit reversal (credit claim).
➤ Second Level Dealer Warranty Part Returns
Second Level Dealers will conduct warranty part returns through their Cat dealer. It is the Cat dealer’s responsibility
to ensure timely part return to Caterpillar. Second Level Dealers will receive PRRs through the Send it Back (SIB)
system. Please refer to Bulletin No. 4.02T for complete Global Warranty Parts Return Handling guidelines for
Second Level Dealers.

Warranty Parts Handling
➤ NOTE: This revision of the bulletin details changes to the parts retention policy for Second Level Dealers as well as information
for the implementation of the Send It Back (SIB) system in place of WPRI. Beginning January 1, 2019, the updated retention
policy takes effect and the WPRI system will be retired.

➤ Overview
This bulletin provides Second Level Dealers (SLD) with guidelines for handling failed part return requests from
Caterpillar. Return only those parts which are requested by a specific Parts Return Request (PRR), an Information
Request through the Send It Back (SIB) system, or as specified by a Service Letter.

Parts removed during warranty repairs, as well as defective parts from stock, may be required for support of
Warranty Claims, to provide engineering information, or for supplier warranty recovery.
➤ Mark & Identify Warranty Parts
Clearly mark all defects such as cracks, sand holes, porous castings, defective welds, and brazes, etc. Felt
marking pens, metal dye or fluorescent paint from a spray can are excellent ways to mark the material. The
identifying mark should encircle the defect, rather than cover or fill it.
Parts not properly identified can result in parts being scrapped and/or claim credit being denied.
Use Caterpillar warranty tags to identify parts that are held for a warranty claim. Warranty tags are available for
order through the Caterpillar dealer: order # 01-003883-14 (404)

Bulletin No. 4.02T Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Notice
Main crankshaft and connecting rod bearings must be marked according to cylinder number and taped
together in sequential order for shipment.

➤ Protect Held Warranty Parts


All removed parts (part causing failure and related parts) that are being held according to the Retention Schedule
must be protected against damage during the holding period. Until the claim is paid, the dealer owns these
parts. Until the holding period has expired Caterpillar owns the parts. Thus, dealers should protect their and our
investment. The following are storage guidelines that Caterpillar expects dealers to follow:
• Parts must be cleaned (unless this destroys evidence of the cause of failure) and protected from the
elements. All fluids should be drained according to Hazmat Regulations.
• Coat machined surfaces with anti-rust compound. This preserves parts so a technical analysis of the cause
of failure can be made.
• Engine crankshaft main and connecting rod bearings must be marked according to cylinder number &
taped together in sequential order.
• All components that are disassembled for determining cause of failure must be reassembled for storage.
Bolts and nuts only need to be finger tight.
• Protect defective radiator cores and coolers by using adequate crating and proper hoisting equipment. Do
not bend the header plates on radiator cores.
• After disassembly of turbochargers, inspection and determination of the cause of failure, dealers must
reassemble the unit. It is necessary to tighten the nuts and bolts a little more than finger tight. Clamps must
be properly installed and tightened.
• Use protective caps and plugs on fuel injection nozzles and injectors.

➤ Hold & Store Warranty Parts


In some cases, Caterpillar may request additional information, digital photographs, or the return of held warranty
claim parts. Removed warranty claim parts that must be retained should be systematically stored in a secured and
limited access area. Good control of saved warranty claim parts will allow dealers to promptly respond to requests,
or to promptly dispose of parts not requested for return, thereby minimizing dealer costs.


Parts Return Request (PRR) Notification: Send It Back (SIB)
Caterpillar will scan service claims promptly after receipt for compliance with basic and special requirements, and
to determine if Caterpillar will require parts to be returned, or if additional Information is needed. When removed
warranty claim failed parts are requested for return, or additional information, the dealer will be notified through
SIB.

PRRs will be generated daily and added to the Send It Back website at https://senditback.cat.com/, Second Level
Dealer. Dealers should check SIB regularly for new parts and information return requests. SIB is the required
method of communicating parts and information requests

➤ Information Request Response


Dealers may receive Information Requests PRRs. If an Information Request is received, it means more information
must be provided to Caterpillar. The information to be provided could include one or any combination of the
following: providing a digital photo, the component serial number, a date code, contact the engineer or include
additional details. Information Requests must also be responded to within the 14 day time line requirement. The
parts used to fulfill the request are required to be held until the 30 day retention period has expired, or the part can
be returned for core credit after the 15 day retention period

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 4.02T

➤ Parts Return Request from Service Engineers


In some cases, a Caterpillar Service Engineer may request the return of failed parts, without any knowledge of a
pending service claim. Such PRR request should be handled the same way as warranty parts if they are available
for return. In these cases, the request must include a dealer work order number or a dealer claim number.

For parts being returned in response to a Service Engineer’s request, dealers should include a print out of the
Requestor Information screen, and indicate if a service claim is to be submitted. The opportunity for a duplicate
request when/if a warranty claim is submitted will be minimized when the service engineer uses the SIB system.

➤ All PRR Request Requirements


Cat Dealer must meet the policy requirements in the chart below for parts requested for return. Second Level
Dealers must work with their assigned Cat Dealer to ensure the requirements are met or non-compliance actions
may occur.

➤ Retention Schedule
Warranty Parts Without Core Value
The following is the time schedule that dealers must retain (hold) removed warranty claim parts for possible
shipment to Caterpillar.
Product Improvement Program (PIP) and/or Product Support Program (PSP) claim parts that are replaced do not
have to be held by dealers, unless the specific Service Letter indicates that they are to be retained. These parts
should be rendered useless and scrapped at the completion of the repair.
All warranty claim parts must be held in storage for 30 days after the claim receive date. If a PRR is issued in SIB
for a warranty claim part within the 30 day period, the dealer is to process the PRR request and return the warranty
claim part. Do not wait the full 30 days before returning the warranty claim part for analysis.

➤ Warranty Parts With Core Value


Reman parts and parts with core value must be held for 15 days after the claim receive date.
• The dealer is to process the PRR request.
• Identify the part has Reman core value with SIB.
• Return warranty claim parts(s) to Caterpillar Dealer for processing.

Do not wait 15 days before returning the warranty claim part for analysis.

Bulletin No. 4.02T Caterpillar: Confidential Green

NOTICE
When service claims are canceled/denied and then resubmitted, the hold period for any removed warranty
claim parts starts over.

For dealers who use Claimsi, the Claim Register/Received date can be obtained by viewing on-line the individual
warranty claim itself.
If a warranty claim involving saved warranty claim parts is canceled and later resubmitted, dealers should adjust
their files to indicate the resubmission date. Parts must be held for an additional 15 days or 30 days, whichever
applies, from the resubmission date of the claim.
Saved warranty claim parts that are not requested by Caterpillar for return and not involved in core credit must be
rendered useless and should be scrapped after the 30 day retention period has lapsed.
Note: Dealers should comply with local laws and regulations for scrapping and disposal of any hazardous material.
Your Caterpillar distributor may supply you with specific guidelines for handling Second Level Dealer warranty
claim parts.
A warranty claim will not be denied for unreturned parts if parts were not requested within the published retention
period. It is our responsibility at Caterpillar to ensure that we request parts within those time periods. For contested
supplemental claims (description code 98) parts will not be requested since in most cases the original hold period
has expired. However, on additional supplemental claims (description code 20) previously unclaimed parts may
be requested for return.

Packaging Parts Returns For Shipment


When returning warranty parts, the following are shipping requirements for specific parts/components:
• Crankshafts and camshafts - Brush a thin coat of grease on machined surfaces to keep them from
rusting.
• Bearings - Main and rod bearings must be marked according to cylinder number and taped together in
sequential order for shipment.
• Turbochargers - After disassembly, inspection, and determination of the cause of failure, dealers must
reassemble the unit. It is necessary to tighten the nuts and bolts only “finger tight.” This will assure that
as parts are shipped, further damage in handling is prevented.
• Fuel Nozzles/Injectors - Use the protective caps and plugs removed from new and remanufactured
nozzles/injectors to protect the nozzles/injectors that are to be returned. The caps and plugs will protect
the tips from breakage and will prevent entry of foreign material.
Correctly packaged parts are less likely to be damaged during shipment. The following are general guidelines for
correct packaging of all Caterpillar requested parts returns:
• When possible, use the crate or box in which the new part or component arrived for returning the damaged
or defective part.
• Pack containers properly. Use containers that have adequate strength and attach them to a pallet. Use
dividers between items in cartons and between loose items. Always pack heavier items at the bottom.
• Palletize large, heavy items. Items not suitable for packaging in containers should be banded to pallets
Cover all openings and protect exposed surfaces.
• Package for lift truck handling. Whenever possible, pack material so it can be handled with a lift truck. This
greatly reduces handling time and minimizes potential damage. When loading the truck, don’t stack heavy
items on crushable items.
• Assign responsibility. Make one specific individual responsible for the packaging of parts returns for

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 4.02T

➤ Disposition of Returned Parts


Caterpillar will dispose of all returned parts immediately after inspection and claim decision, unless a dealer has
requested a part be returned to them. If a dealer wants the part returned to them, the parent dealer must check the
“return to dealer” box in SIB when processing the Parts Return Request. The PRR label will show a “Yes” indicating
that the dealer has requested the part back. The dealer is responsible for the returned shipping charges.
Parts are not available for return to the dealer under the following conditions, even if the SIB “return to dealer” box
is checked:
• Parts are involved in an open Warranty claim, and Reman core value is involved
• Part is involved in a paid Warranty claim
• Part is involved in a Warranty claim that was 100% non-allowed, and Reman core value is involved
• Part is NOT involved in a Warranty claim, but Reman core value is involved

Supplier Recovery Warranty Parts


Claims received with a turbocharger or air compressor part number listed as the part causing failure will have a
parts request issued upon receipt of the claim.
Note: Do Not remove the metal shipping tag from Remanufactured Turbochargers, which identifies the
ship date from the turbocharger manufacturer. Claims may be debited if tag is removed.

➤ Debited Claims Resulting From Parts Returns


If the requested parts are not returned to Caterpillar within 45 days after issuance of the Parts Return Request or if
response is not provided in Send-It-Back per the chart in the PRR notification section on page 3, then the warranty
claim may be denied, non-allowed or debited depending on the specifics of the warranty claim. In such cases, any
parts received by Caterpillar after this action will not be considered for warranty, and any subsequent claims will
not be considered for warranty.
Whenever possible, warranty claims will continue through Caterpillar claim processing and be credited, even
though parts returns are requested. Caterpillar retains the option, however, of debiting the dealer for credit
previously extended. The following are examples of when debits may be issued as a result of parts returns:
• Response not provided in Send-It-Back per Policy Requirements in chart on page 3.
• Parts not returned per Caterpillar request within 45 days after issuance of the Parts Return Request.
• Parts damaged due to incorrect handling or packaging by dealer.
• Parts that should have been repaired.
• Assemblies that should have been rebuilt.
• Parts inspection indicates failure not Caterpillar’s responsibility.
• Parts replacement not justified.
• Parts not returned to the designated location identified on the parts return request.
• Parts not returned to Caterpillar Dealer within time frame to meet SIB Policy Requirements in chart on
page 3

Contesting Debited Claims Of Parts Not Received As Requested


When a debit is received by a dealer for parts not returned as requested, and the dealer maintains that the parts
were properly shipped, the dealer may contact the debit requestor listed in the claim story of the debit claim. IF the
dealer shows proof of the shipment, and/or debit requestor agrees the debit was incorrect, then the debit requestor
will initiate a debit reversal (credit claim). Do not submit a new claim.

This bulletin provides the warranty period and reimbursement terms for Cat® brand batteries. The Caterpillar
Battery Warranty Statement applies to batteries that are original equipment therefore part of a Cat prime product,
other manufacturer’s product, or customer purchased as replacement.
NOTE: Excludes Yellowmark™, A Caterpillar Brand batteries.

Warranty Period
The warranty period is determined by the battery type and application per the Caterpillar Battery Warranty
Statement found at https://warranty.cat.com/currstmts and begins on the sale date or the documented in-service
date. If applicable, the total battery warranty period is divided into a “replacement-free” warranty period, followed
by a “prorated” warranty period for customer participation.

free-of-charge to the customer. Batteries replaced during this period are warranted for the remainder of warranty
of the original (defective) battery.
Proration period - Once the “replacement free” warranty period expires, the “proration” warranty period begins, if
applicable. If a customer participates in any portion of the cost of a replacement battery, the replacement battery
has its own warranty as if originally purchased. The cost charged to the customer for replacement of the defective
battery should be calculated using the formula in the Caterpillar Battery Warranty Statement.

Dealer Reimbursement
Warranty claims should not be submitted to Caterpillar for defective in-service or installed batteries. Instead,
Caterpillar automatically reimburses dealers for battery warranty expenses by issuing quarterly warranty credit
claims. The allowance provided in the claim is 3% of the total dealer net (D/N) value of all batteries ordered by the
dealer during the previous quarter. This credit is issued to cover expenses (parts, labor, etc.) for all in-service or
installed batteries, including prime product inventory.
No action is needed to generate the Quarterly Battery Settlement Notice, as this is an automatic Caterpillar
process. The dealer claim number on such notices begins with the letters “BATT.”
EXCEPTION: If the battery warranty costs for a given year exceed the 3% allowance and can be adequately
substantiated, contact the Warranty Service Desk.

Bulletin No. 4.07 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Special Instructions for Batteries


Batteries must be maintained (recharged, conditioned, or stored) per Special Instruction SEHS9031. Potentially
defective batteries, excluding obvious defects such as a cracked case, should be tested according to the Battery
Test Procedure SEHS7633.

Non-Warrantable Failures
The following causes of battery failure are not reimbursable under warranty:
 Batteries that have exploded are not considered to be a defect in material or workmanship. Explosions
typically result from a spark or fire caused by a loose connection between a post and a cable. Therefore the
battery was not the cause of failure.
 Cracked battery that has been in-service more than 30 days.
 Discharge of an in-service battery does not establish the presence of a defect.
 Failures that result from installations with mixed battery types, Maintenance Free Battery (no access to
electrolyte) and Low Maintenance or Conventional battery (with access to electrolyte). In such an installation,
neither will charge properly and will fail.
 Failures resulting from inadequate battery maintenance.

Disposition of Failed and Defective Batteries


Batteries should not be returned to Caterpillar for inspection. Dealers are encouraged to sell all “spent” and
defective batteries to ensure recovery of the lead content.

Damage Due to Improper Packing


It is the dealer’s responsibility to check and inspect the product upon delivery. Caterpillar is not responsible for
in transit damage caused by negligence of shipping carriers or other parties. A claim should be submitted only
if the tool was damaged during transit as a result of improper packing at a Caterpillar facility or packager. The
claim story must include an explanation of the circumstances and photographs of the damaged tool must be
kept on file.

Repair vs. Replace


Service tools and supplies should be repaired if the repair is expected to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to failure and if the repair cost is less than the replacement cost. For example, the use of a
repair kit for repairing a failed ratchet wrench is less costly than the complete replacement of the wrench. Before
deciding to repair, dealers must determine if:
• Tool is beyond repair
• Repairing the tool will provide equal value to the customer
Dealers must contact the Tools and Supplies Hotline for failed or defective tools and supplies covered by
Caterpillar warranty with a Dealer Net (D/N) of $500 (USD) or more. In such cases, the Tools Supplies Hotline
will instruct the dealer whether to repair, replace, or send the product to the manufacturer to repair.
When applicable, the Tools and Supplies Hotline will provide an authorization code that must be indicated in the
claim story.

➤ Tools and Supplies Hotline Contact Information:


• Call USA: 1-800-542-8665, Option 1 • International: +1-309-578-7372
Staffed hours of operation are Monday-Friday; 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. (U.S. Central Time) or

New and Remanufactured
Third Party Brand Name Aftermarket
On-Highway Truck Parts Sold by Caterpillar
Not Installed On Caterpillar Brand Prime Products
Overview
This bulletin addresses warranty coverage for new and remanufactured aftermarket on-highway truck parts and
assembled components, which are marketed by Caterpillar through Cat® dealers under various third party brand
names for use on product other than Caterpillar brand. The bulletin does not apply to product sold under Perkins
brand. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide Cat dealers with guidance for administrating warranty and to
outline reimbursement practices applicable to such items. This bulletin is effective with sales to first user on/or
after January 1, 2012.
These parts are not branded Cat but will be assigned Caterpillar part numbers. All claims to Caterpillar are to be
submitted against the Caterpillar part number.
These new and remanufactured third party brand parts and assembled components are warranted by Caterpillar
to be free from defect in material and workmanship for the period of 12 months, starting from the date the part is
purchased or put into service by the first user. In some cases, additional warranty terms beyond the 12 month
period that is provided by Caterpillar, may be available direct from the manufacturer (third party brand). Contact
that manufacturer directly to determine if additional coverage is available and for instructions of how to submit
claims to them.
Under this new parts and assembled components warranty, the customer (end user) receives parts and
reasonable and customary labor provided by a Cat dealer to correct the defect, including resultant damage to
other parts sold by Caterpillar. Labor includes time to disconnect the product from and reconnect the product to
its attached equipment, mounting and support systems, if required. Correction of resultant damage to parts sold
by other manufacturers is not covered by this warranty and is the responsibility of the customer.

Recall Programs
When Caterpillar is notified of a manufacturer recall, a copy of the manufacturer’s notification will be transmitted
to all affected Cat dealers. Caterpillar Product Improvement Programs (PIP) will not be issued regarding these
third party brand parts. Dealers will work directly with the third party manufacturer regarding requirements and
completion of such recall programs and claims for reimbursable expenses as defined by that manufacturer.
Caterpillar will not maintain any customer or sales records regarding these parts. Do not submit claims to
Caterpillar for expense related to these recall programs.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.01

Exception: If a component is replaced within the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period AND the customer pays a
proration amount of 25% or more of the component markup, then the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period starts
over for that component. The New Parts Warranty does not apply to components replaced under this exception.
• Link assemblies and track groups must be installed on the machine prior to the link assembly or track
group install-by date. The install-by date can be found on the parts label attached to the link assembly or
track group. If the parts label is missing or damaged, the install-by date is four years past the assembly
date. The assembly date can be identified through IRM UC03-04 (PELJ0151).
Documentation/Enrollment
• For every Undercarriage Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep on file the following
documentation:
• The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer
• Undercarriage Assurance Enrollment Certificates are located in the Sales Library
• Genuine: PEEP5026, PFEP5026, PGEP5026, PSEP5026
• Classic: PEDJ0079, PFDJ0079, PGDJ0079, PLDJ0079, PSDJ0079
• Customer invoice of original machine or replacement parts sale
• Custom Track Service (CTS) report at the time of breakage or leakage
• Customer credit invoices
• Recommended practice - Dealer should submit informational SIMSi entry indicating date of enrollment.

Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware.
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
thrust rings, roller shells, idler shells, and/or shafts.
• The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly
method.
• Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.
• Refer to Table 2 for coverage details.
Component Proration - Is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (% Worn x (Markup))
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based on the
track link percent worn.
For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace the undercarriage when the bushings
are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn component (bushing or track link).
For track rollers, carrier rollers, or idlers, proration is based off the % worn of the component being replaced.
Example 1: D6T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 3 joints are dry. Dealer Net Price
of link assembly is $4000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $4000 - (30% x (1.36 x $4000)) = $2368
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $1000.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $1000
Example 2: D6T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
damaged and cannot be reused. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $4000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair

05.01-16 (09/19) 3
Bulletin No. 5.01 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $4000 - (30% x (1.36 x $4000)) = $2368


• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $9000
• Replace is the least costly method
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2368
Example 3: D6T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
OK and can be reused. Track repair can be made with new pins, bushings, and seals. Dealer Net Price of
link assembly is $4000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $4000 - (30% x 1.36 x $4000) = $2368
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $3000
• Replace is the least costly method
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2368
• The decision to repair or replace in this situation should be discussed between the dealer and the
customer to determine the best overall value for the customer.
*NOTE: Failures during the New Machine Warranty or New Parts Warranty periods must be filed against these
warranty programs, not against Undercarriage Assurance. If there is an undercarriage Product Support Program
(PSP) in effect that covers the component failure, dealers must claim under the PSP.
Undercarriage Assurance applies when all other available coverages have expired.

price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
• For SystemOne products enrolled prior to 01Nov14:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (%Worn x (Markup))
• For SystemOne products enrolled on/after 01Nov14:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (Proration % x (Markup))
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
• The % Worn and Proation is based on the most worn component (brushing or track link)

2 05.02-17 (09/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.02

• SystemOne products enrolled on/after 01Nov14 will use Table 1 to calculate the Proration %. This is based
upon % Wear and Part Hours.
Example 1: D6T has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 2 joints are dry. Undercarriage was enrolled prior to
01Nov14. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $5000 - (30% x (1.36 x $5000)) = $2960
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2500.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2500
• The decision to repair or replace in this situation should be discussed between the dealer and
the customer to determine the best overall value for the customer.

Example 2: D6T has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Undercarriage was enrolled after
01Nov14. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $5000 - (40% x (1.36 x $5000)) = $2280
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $9000
• Replace is the least costly method
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2280

*NOTE: Failures during the New Machine Warranty or New Parts Warranty periods must be filed against these
warranty programs, not against Undercarriage Assurance.
If there is an undercarriage Product Support Program (PSP) in effect that covers the component failure, dealers
must claim under the PSP.

Undercarriage Assurance applies when all other available coverages have expired.

Wear Life Coverage Program


Program Discontinued March 1, 2016
Overview
The Wear Life Program was primarily designed for the introduction of SystemOne™ to assure users of extended
wear life for link assemblies, track rollers, and Center Tread Idlers. Effective March 2010, the program is only
available for new machines.

Coverage
The program coverage period is 4 years or a dealer-calculated number of hours (6,000 hours maximum),
whichever occurs first. Reference the following coverage details section to calculate the hours coverage period.

Machines Sold After 01Mar10


Coverage Details
 New Cat track-type tractors with factory-installed SystemOne undercarriage
• Machines must be equipped with Center Tread Idlers
 Machines that are converted from conventional to SystemOne undercarriage are not covered
 Replacement undercarriage is not covered
 Only link assemblies, track rollers, and Center Tread Idlers are included
 If a covered machine is sold, coverage may be transferred to the new customer only within a dealer
territory - this transfer option is at the discretion of the dealer
 Use the following steps to calculate Assurance Life:
1. Determine ‘Baseline Life’ hours - the Baseline Life is the life in hours from one of the following three
scenarios for the machine model being quoted:
a. The actual life of a previous conventional Cat undercarriage for this customer
b. Projected life to 100% of the Link-Roller System for the previous Cat undercarriage for this customer
c. If the customer has no previous Cat undercarriage experience, calculate the average life for 3 Cat
machines of the same model in similar applications and underfoot conditions
2. Determine the ‘Improvement Factor’ from the following list:
a. D6N, D6T, D8T – up to 1.5
b. D5K, D6K – up to 1.3
c. D3K, D4K – up to 1.5
3. Determine the Assurance Life by multiplying [Baseline Life x Improvement Factor].
  The maximum coverage supported by Caterpillar is 6,000 hours
Dealers may choose to offer a coverage period less than the calculated Assurance Life for
commercial reasons
Machines and Undercarriage Sold Before 01Mar10
 New Cat machines and replacement undercarriage on Cat track-type tractors and track-type loaders
 Machines are not required to be equipped with Center Tread Idlers
 Only link assemblies, track rollers, and Center Tread Idlers are included
 To qualify for program enrollment, customers must install all covered components new at the time of enrollment
• Center Tread Idlers that are installed with less than 50% wear and are re-sealed can also be included
at the time of enrollment.
 If a covered machine is sold, coverage may be transferred to the new customer only within a dealer
territory - this transfer option is at the discretion of the dealer

1. Determine ‘Baseline Life’ hours. The Baseline Life is the life in hours from one of the following three
scenarios for the machine model being quoted:
a. The actual life of a previous conventional Cat undercarriage for this customer
b. Projected life to 100% of the Link-Roller System for the previous Cat undercarriage for this customer
c. If the customer has no previous Cat undercarriage experience, calculate the average life for 3 Cat
machines of the same model in similar applications and underfoot conditions
2. The ‘Improvement Factor’ is up to 1.5
3. Determine the Assurance Life by multiplying [Baseline Life x Improvement Factor]. The maximum
coverage supported by Caterpillar is 6,000 hours. Dealers may choose to offer a coverage period less
than the calculated Assurance Life for commercial reasons.

Dealer Reimbursement
Machines Sold After 01Mar10
Component failures must be filed against the New Machine Warranty, the New Parts Warranty or the
Undercarriage Assurance Leakage and Breakage Program; only short wear out parts are claimed under the
Wear Life Coverage Program.
Defining the End of Usable Life for SystemOne Undercarriage:
 For the link assembly and track rollers, the End of Usable Life is when the Link-Roller System reaches
120% worn
• This is calculated by the CTS computer program, but can also be determined manually for each side
with the formula [(Link percent worn + Worst Track Roller percent worn)/2]
 For the idler, the End of Usable Life is when it reaches 100% wear determined by CTS measurements
If a covered component reaches the end of its usable wear life before the end of the coverage period, Caterpillar
will share 50% of the proration with the dealer at Consumer List according to the following formula:
 Caterpillar participation = [Markup - (Markup x Actual Life /Assurance Life)] x 0.5
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
Example: The Link-Roller System reached 120% worn at 5,400 hours. Consumer List price for the link
assemblies and track rollers is $10,000. Assurance Hours are 6,000.
[$10,000 - $10,000 x (5,400/6,000)] x 0.5
[$10,000 - ($10,000 x 0.9)] x 0.5

Enrollment Qualifications
• Undercarriage can be enrolled without prior Caterpillar approval
• Effective with machine or parts sales on or after January 1, 2018, machines must be enrolled into either CTSi
or Cat Wear Management System® with CTS Pro to be qualified for Undercarriage Assurance.
• Enrollment must be completed prior to repairs.
• The machine must have a functioning hour meter
• The minimum purchase for a machine is at least one link assembly, or all track rollers on one track roller
frame, or all idlers on one track roller frame
Exception: If a component is replaced within the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period AND the customer pays
a proration amount of 25% or more of the component markup, then the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period
starts over for that component. The New Parts Warranty does not apply to components replaced under this exception.
• Link assemblies and track groups must be installed on the machine prior to the link assembly or track group
install-by date. The install-by date can be found on the parts label attached to the link assembly or track
group. If the parts label is missing or damaged, the install-by date is four years past the assembly date. The
assembly date can be identified through IRM UC03-04 (PELJ0151).

2 05.05-10 (09/18)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.05

Documentation/Enrollment
• For every Undercarriage Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep on file the following
documentation:
• The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer - enrollment to Caterpillar is not required
• Undercarriage Assurance Enrollment Certificates - they are located in the Sales Library
• General Duty - PEEP9277
• Customer invoice of original machine or replacement parts sale
• Custom Track Service (CTS) report at the time of breakage or leakage
• Customer credit invoices
• Recommended practice - Dealers should submit informational SIMSi entry indicating date of enrollment.

Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:

• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
and thrust rings
• The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly
method.
• Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.

Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formulas
calculate the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = [D/N Price - (Proration % x (Markup))]*
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36

*Reimbursement is reduced by 35% if machine is equipped with wide shoes - this includes shoes that
are 28” or wider for TTT, and 710 mm or wider for Hex

Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn.
For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace the undercarriage when the
bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn component (bushing or
track link).
For track rollers, carrier rollers, or idlers, proration is based off the % worn of the component being replaced.
Dry joint repair or track replacement after bushing turn is not covered.
*NOTE: Failures during the New Machine Warranty or New Parts Warranty periods must be filed against these
warranty programs, not against Undercarriage Assurance. If there is an undercarriage Product Support Program
(PSP) in effect that covers the component failure, dealers must claim under the PSP.

Undercarriage Assurance applies when all other available coverages have expired.

Overview
The Structural Components Assurance Program for certain E and F Series Excavators is a specific
merchandising program developed by Caterpillar to reinforce confidence in E and F Series Excavator structures.
Caterpillar is offering assurance coverage to structures for 36 months or 10,000 hours, whichever occurs first. This
coverage begins at the same time as the original equipment’s “Standard Warranty” term and terminates in 36 months
or 10,000 hours, whichever occurs first.
Another offering for the Structural Components Assurance Program covers only the D Series model 320D2 GC,
specifically those in Thailand. The assurance coverage is for 24 months or 5,000 hours, whichever occurs first.
This coverage runs coherently with the equipment’s “Standard Warranty” term. At the end of either 24 months
or 5,000 hours, whichever occurs first this assurance coverage terminates.
This coverage applies only to booms and sticks, listed by part number, that were installed at the time of manufacture.
Please reference the Component Coverage Charts for the specific part numbers by model that are included
under this coverage.

7495HF Electric Rope Shovel Cast Crawler Shoe
Assurance Program
125 Inch Shoes Used in Oil Sands Application
➤ Effective with sales to the first user between Jan. 1, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2019.

Overview
The 7495HF Electric Rope Shovel Cast Crawler Shoe Assurance Program, is a wear and breakage program
developed by Caterpillar specifically for the 125 - inch cast crawler shoe in oil sands application (Cat part
numbers: 453-2496 or 535-9960 right shoe and 453-2495 or 535-9961 left shoe). This shoe is for the high flotation
configuration of the 7495HF Electric Rope Shovel. The program is primarily designed to assure structural integrity
of the shoe and the wear life of the shoe - to - roller wear pad.
This assurance program applies only to the 125 - inch cast crawler shoe used in oil sands applications only.
All other moving undercarriage components for the 7495HF Electric Rope Shovel undercarriage, such as shoe
connecting pins, front idlers and support shafts, lower rollers and support shafts, drive tumblers, and top support
plates for track are not covered by this program.
The program is used by dealers, when necessary, to obtain new machine or parts sales by offering product support
enhancements. This additional product support offering goes beyond the standard machine warranty or new parts
warranty. The cost of the offering is shared between Caterpillar and the dealer.
➤ Coverage
For products sold prior to January 1, 2017 this coverage begins at the same time as the standard machine
warranty or new parts warranty term and terminates in 4 years, 24,000 part hours, and travel adjustment hours.
(see Dealer Reimbursement Tables 1&2), whichever occurs first.
For 453-2495/453-2496, sales on/after January 1, 2017 this coverage begins at the same time as the standard
warranty or new parts warranty term and terminates in 4 years, 24,000 part hours, or 1,200 propel hours (see
Dealer Reimbursement Table 3), whichever occurs first.
For 535-9960/535-9961, sales on/after May 1, 2018 this coverage begins at the same time as the standard
warranty or new parts warranty term and terminates in 4 years, 24,000 part hours, or 2,400 propel hours (see
Dealer Reimbursement Table 4), whichever occurs first.
The coverage is prorated to 24,000 hours. Hour adjustments may apply prior to proration to account for machine
travel. (Refer to the Dealer Reimbursement section of this bulletin for details.) Coverage ends with the stated
years or hours, whichever occurs first.

Adjustment for machine travel: Machine movement or propelling negatively affects crawler track life. The travel
adjustment is based on the propel hours from the date of shoe installation as a percent of the part hours. If the
machine propel hours from the date of shoe installation, exceeds 5% of the part hours, a travel adjustment is
applied before the prorated dealer reimbursement formula is calculated.
The travel adjustment calculation yields an hour value (if any), which is then added to the part hours in Table 1.
The travel hour adjustment is shown in Table 2.

Travel Adjustment Calculation Example:
A failure occurs with 17,000 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 3 years old. The propel hours
from the date of installation is 1,000. Therefore the propel hours from the date of installation as a percent of the
part hours is 5.9% (1,000/17,000). From this information, Table 2 shows a travel adjustment of 4,000 hours. This
travel adjustment is added to the accumulated hours on the cast crawler shoes for a total of 21,000 hours (17,000
parts hours plus 4,000 adjustment hours). Applying this to Table 1, the proration factor is 80%.

Adjustment for machine travel: Machine movement or propelling negatively affects crawler track life. The travel
adjustment is based on the propel hours from the date of shoe installation as a percent of the part hours. If the
machine propel hours from the date of shoe installation, exceeds 5% of the part hours, a part hour adjustment is
applied before the prorated dealer reimbursement formula is calculated.
The travel adjustment calculation yields an hour value (if any), which is then added to the part hours in Table 1.
The travel hour adjustment is shown in Table 2:

6.1% to 7.0% 3000 hours
7.1% to 8.0% 4500 hours
8.1% and up 16,001 hours – exceeds program limits
An example is given as to how the travel adjustment is applied to the cast crawler shoe proration:
A failure occurs with 12,000 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 2 years old. The propel hours
from the date of installation is 650. Therefore the propel hours from the date of installation as a percent of the part
hours is 5.4% (650/12,000). From this information, Table 2 shows an hour adjustment of 1,500 hours. This hour
adjustment is added to the accumulated hours on the cast crawler shoes for a total of 13,500 hours (12,000 parts
hours plus 1,500 adjustment hours). Applying this to Table 1, the proration factor is 60%.

Documentation/Enrollment
For every Undercarriage Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep on file the following documentation:
 The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer - enrollment to Caterpillar is not required
 Undercarriage Assurance Enrollment Certificates are located in the Sales Library
• Gold: PEDJ0005, PFDJ0005, PGDJ0005, PSDJ0005
 Customer invoice of original machine or replacement parts sale
 Custom Track Service (CTS) report at the time of breakage or leakage
 Customer credit invoices
• Recommended practice - Dealer should submit informational SIMSi entry indicating date of enrollment.
Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
thrust rings, roller shells, idler shells, and/or shafts
Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (% Worn x (Markup))
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36

Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn. For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace
the undercarriage when the bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn
component (bushing or track link).
The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly method.
Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.
Example 1: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 3 joints are dry. Dealer Net
Price of link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2,000.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2,000
Example 2: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
damaged and cannot be reused. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $27,000
• Replace is the least costly method
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $14,800
Example 3: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
OK and can be reused. Track repair can be made with new pins, bushings, and seals. Dealer Net Price of
link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $9,000
• Repair is the least costly method
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $9,000
• The decision to repair or replace in this situation should be discussed between the dealer and the customer
to determine the best overall value for the customer.

Value Assurance Level 2

There are two levels of Value Assurance, Level 1* and Level 2. This bulletin only addresses Value Assurance
Level 2 practices and procedures. Value Assurance Level 2 may be referenced either as VA2 or VL2, which are
one in the same.
* The Value Assurance I, VA1 & VL1 Merchandising Program was discontinued Dec. 31, 2005.

Overview
Value Assurance Level 2 requires Caterpillar authorization prior to any machine enrollment sold on/or after
September 1, 1999.
Note: For large mining machines sold on/or after September 1, 1999, the only Value Assurance coverage available
is Level 2.
Value Assurance Level 1 and Level 2 are Caterpillar merchandising programs for dealer-sold product. Dealers use
these programs, when necessary, to obtain new machine sales by offering extended coverage enhancements. They
provide to the customer added product value through additional extended coverage offerings, beyond standard Cat®
machine warranty. Caterpillar will pay for parts, the dealer is responsible for labor costs. Labor must be supplied by
the dealer in order for Caterpillar to participate in the repair reimbursement.

Value Assurance is not an extension of standard Cat machine warranty. It is designed to be a Caterpillar-
supported dealer program.
There are no published VA2 extended coverage offerings. VA2 coverage can be virtually any type of extended
coverage offering that the dealer and Caterpillar agree to provide. Coverage can be a combination package of
several individual coverages.
Typically VA2 is an extension of a VA1 Dealer extended coverage. There are also additional dealer extended
coverages available under VA2 for components such as hydraulics or electrical. Under any VA2 Dealer extended
coverage for components on machines, Caterpillar will reimburse the dealer for parts only if the failure was determined
to be caused by defect in material or workmanship. The dealer is responsible for reimbursement of labor. Dealers
can purchase insurance for certain extended coverages offerings through Cat Financial Insurance Services, which
reimburses dealers for reasonable labor.
At the point of VA enrollment, S·O·SSM sampling must begin at the first recommended interval and continue throughout
the remainder of the VA Coverage.

Enrollment
To start the enrollment process and obtain the required approvals, use the form on the Global Warranty website at
https://warranty.cat.com/wtyforms. Make sure all required fields are populated.
Enrollment of machines in VA2 requires approval from Caterpillar sold on/or after September 1, 1999.
After receiving written Caterpillar approval, enrollment registration is then completed by Caterpillar. Enrollment in
VA2 must be done at the time of sale. Dealers must keep on-file a copy of the customer signed Dealer Extended
Agreement or Services / Guarantee Agreement, for verification if requested by Caterpillar.

VA2 Coverage Period


The stated coverage period for all VA2 coverage options starts from the product delivery date, since it includes
the standard warranty period. Coverage under VA2 expires when the length of time and/or usage limit is reached,
whichever occurs first.

Dealer Expense Reimbursement


For expense reimbursement under dealer extended agreements, the part causing the failure must be a component
covered by the applicable VA2 coverage.
The reimbursement allowance and rate practices for various dealer expenses can vary for each VA2 coverage,
depending on the dealer agreement with the local Caterpillar District Office. Since expense reimbursement practices
vary for VA2 coverages, dealers must view the coverage / reimbursement details in Caterpillar’s on-line coverage
verification system (Claimsi https://claims.cat.com).
If the coverage verification screen information does not indicate otherwise, the expense reimbursement allowance and
rate practices for VA2 apply, as outlined below:
For dealer reimbursement under Value Assurance, the part causing the failure must be a component covered by the
applicable VA2 coverage option.
The following outlines the specifics for various dealer repair expenses associated with VA2 repairs. Some of these
repair expenses are dealer reimbursable from Caterpillar, and others are not.

Parts
All parts needed to correct the defect, including gaskets, seals, salvage materials, and any resultant damaged Cat
parts are dealer reimbursable at the Dealer Net (D/N) price in effect on the date of repair.
The replacement parts or components may be either new, remanufactured, or Caterpillar approved repaired, at
Caterpillar’s choice. When there is a Caterpillar remanufactured part offered that is at standard dimensions, dealers
must always use the remanufactured part.
For an emergency Class 1 Parts Order (warranty with machine down) of a remanufactured part that is not-in-stock,
the dealer will be shipped the equivalent new part and invoiced at the remanufactured price, plus the standard core
charge. This Parts Department practice is not applicable for major components (i.e. engines, transmissions).
Parts reimbursement includes only those Cat parts needed to restore the product to its operating condition just prior to the
Value Assurance covered failure. t does not include reimbursement for parts to restore the product to a like-new condition.

Service Items
Lubricants, filters, antifreeze, and other service items made unusable due to contamination by the failure are dealer
reimbursable. Such items are reimbursed at the Dealer Net (D/N) price in effect on the date of repair. Service items not
affected by the failure, which are replaced in the normal course of the warranty repair are not dealer reimbursable.

Repair Labor
The dealer is responsible for all repair labor. This includes labor to inspect, test, diagnose, remove, disassemble,
clean, assemble, and install.
The dealer may internally accumulate their labor, but not transfer the costs to any other insurance program. If it is
determined that the dealer is not meeting the provisions of the VA program any parts reimbursed by NACD for the
dealer extended VA coverage, will be debited back to the dealer.

2 05.16-04 (03/16)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.16

Parts Salvage Labor


Parts salvage labor is dealer reimbursable, if the Caterpillar part can be satisfactorily repaired for a cost that does
not exceed 50% of the Dealer Net (D/N) price for a new or remanufactured part. Salvage labor includes only the time
to perform salvage operations such as machining, cutting, burning, trimming, bending, heating, welding, etc. It does
not include the labor to disassemble and assemble the part or component associated with performing the salvage
operation. Such labor is the responsibility of the repairing dealer.
Labor reimbursement is at the dealer’s NACD warranty labor rate. Materials such as steel, that are used to perform
the salvage operation are dealer reimbursable at the dealer’s acquisition cost.

Overtime Labor Rate


Reimbursable labor that is performed after normal working hours will not be reimbursed at the dealer’s premium
overtime labor rate. All reimbursable labor is reimbursed only at the dealer’s NACD warranty labor rate.

Travel Time & Mileage


Travel time labor and vehicle mileage to and from field service repair sites are not dealer reimbursable. Such expenses
are the responsibility of the dealer or customer.

Meals & Lodging


Mechanic’s meals and lodging associated with field service repairs are not dealer reimbursable. Such expenses are
the responsibility of the dealer or customer.

Parts Service Charges


Caterpillar Service Department service charges for parts obtained on an emergency order are dealer reimbursable.
The service charge is a percentage of the Dealer Net (D/N) price of the part, as per the following:
• 0 % for slow moving parts
• 5 % for medium moving parts
• 8 % for fast moving parts

Freight Charges
Inbound surface or air freight charges for parts shipped from a Caterpillar Parts Distribution Center to the dealer are not
dealer reimbursable. Dealer shuttle service expenses between a Caterpillar Parts Distribution Center and the dealer,
or between the dealer’s stores are also not reimbursable.

Hauling Costs
Costs associated with transporting or hauling a machine for repairs, are not dealer reimbursable.

Shop Supplies
Shop supplies are not dealer reimbursable as an itemized parts expense line or parts summary (NLOW) expense line.
However, allowance for shop supplies is included in the dealer’s warranty rate. Examples of shop supplies includes,
shop towels, welding rod, wire ties, gasket maker, sealants, solvents, adhesives, primers, paint, assembly lubricants,
anti-seize compounds, buffing discs & pads, emory cloth, grinding discs, etc.

Outside Repair Expenses


Outside repair expenses are dealer reimbursable, if the expense is justified and reasonable. Such expenses are
reimbursed at the dealer’s actual cost. These expenses are for parts and/or labor from an outside vendor. Examples
of labor expenses for sublet repairs include, machining, cylinder head milling, or radiator repair.
It is the dealer’s responsibility to ensure that invoice charges for outside repair expenses are reasonable, to insure full
Caterpillar reimbursement.

VA Coverage for Resold Machines


When machines having non-governmental Value Assurance are resold to another customer, the following guidelines
are recommended to prevent possible dealer disputes:
• If the resold machine remains in the selling dealer’s territory, it is recommended that the selling dealer arrange
to transfer the Value Assurance to the new user.
• If the resold machine does not remain in the selling dealer’s territory and the selling dealer, is aware of the sale,
it is recommended that the selling dealer cancel the Value Assurance.
• For cancellations of VA extended coverage, submit a ticket to the Warranty Service Desk.
• The repairing dealer should always contact the selling dealer before honoring any of the Value Assurance
services claimed by the user of a resold machine. For any VA repairs by the repairing dealer, the repairing
dealer must submit the VA service claim to Caterpillar. Specifics involving the repair expenses that are not
reimbursable from Caterpillar should be worked out between the two dealers.

Resold Machines with Governmental VA Coverage


Machines with governmental Value Assurance coverage that are resold to a non-governmental owner for operation
in the selling dealer’s territory, can not have the Value Assurance transferred to the new owner. Governmental VA
coverage is only applicable as long as the machine is owned by a governmental agency. Rarely is a governmental
machine traded before the Value Assurance has expired, but if it happens, dealers can elect to downgrade the
coverage to a non-governmental VA coverage and pass the downgraded coverage to the non-governmental new
owner.

Wear Out and Extent of Coverage


Wear out and normal deterioration may be considered by the user to be covered by VA extended coverage.
However, such occurrences are not due to defects in the material or workmanship and therefore are not covered
by VA Dealer extended coverage.
Example: While performing a VA Dealer extended coverage repair for a piston ring failure, the dealer serviceman
notices the vee belts and coolant hoses are worn and deteriorated. He also notices some wear (within acceptable

4 05.16-04 (03/16)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.16

limits) on the cylinder head valve guides. In addition to the piston ring failure repair, the service technician replaced
the vee belts and coolant hoses, and reconditioned the valve guides to avoid future downtime.
In this example, the vee belts, hoses, and valve guide reconditioning cannot be claimed to Caterpillar
because they did not have a defect, nor were they damaged as a result of the piston ring failure. They
were repaired or replaced only as a precautionary measure.
The intent of Value Assurance is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product
to its operating condition just prior to the VA covered failure. Value Assurance covers only the repair or replacement
of the covered failed component and any associated resultant damaged parts.

Frame / Structures Repairability Guarantees (Large Mining Product)
NOTICE:
This VA coverage is not applicable for product sold to first user on or after 5/1/2016.

When offered on designated large mining machine models, this extended coverage guarantees weld repairability
of the main frame or designated structure component(s). If it is determined that the covered component(s) are
not weld repairable due to a defect in material or workmanship, the covered component(s) may be replaced. To
maintain this coverage, the covered component(s) must have scheduled and documented crack inspections as
per the Operation And Maintenance (O&M) Manual. Any cracks found during these inspections must be veedout
and welded promptly at the customer’s expense, as part of normal maintenance. When claiming for covered
component repairability failures, enter 7051 in the Group No. field of the claim heading.

Cat Work Tool Extended Coverage


Effective with 2002 NACD Merchandising Programs for Nomenclatured/Non-nomeclatured Cat Work Tools do not
qualify for individual enrollment into VA1 or VA2, however, new non-nomenclatured work tools sold with a new
host machine could qualify for VA2 as part of a total machine offering under VA2. These Cat Work Tools would be
considered part of the host machine.

S·O·S Fluid Analysis


For eligibility under any VA2 extended coverage, the machine must be promptly enrolled in a Cat dealer’s S·O·S
Fluid Analysis program upon enrollment in Value Assurance, and remain enrolled in S·O·S throughout the entire
Value Assurance coverage period(s).
The cost of the oil sampling cannot be claimed to Caterpillar, but the dealer may elect to charge the customer.
Samples must be taken, processed, and analyzed at prescribed intervals. For the prescribed oil sample intervals,
dealers should reference the machine’s Operation and Maintenance Manual. Records of the analysis must be kept
on-file for verification, if requested by Caterpillar.

Claiming Practices for PIP / PSP on Machines Covered By VA


All Product Improvement Programs (PIP’s) and Product Support Programs (PSP’s) performed on machines covered
by VA, must be claimed under the appropriate PIP or PSP. Do not claim these repairs under VA.
For PSP’s that are performed after-failure on VA covered machines, refer to Bulletin 1.16 for the PSP claiming
practices on VA covered machines.

Cat® GET Assurance Program for Cat Advansys™
Adapters for Large Wheel Loaders
(Applicable only for product sold to end user between 01Dec2018 to 31Dec2019.)

Overview
The Cat® GET Assurance Program applies to Cat Advansys™ Adapters for Large Wheel Loaders (130, 150, 170,
200 and 220 sizes) sold and serviced by Cat Dealers globally. This program was primarily developed by Caterpillar to
reinforce the confidence in Cat Advansys GET adapter life over similar hammerless systems.

Coverage Details
Caterpillar is offering an assurance coverage for Advansys Adapters for 24 months or 125% of the previous
adapter baseline life (12,000 hours maximum), whichever occurs first, for the first purchaser. This coverage runs
concurrently with Parts Warranty.
Caterpillar and the Cat Dealer assure improved adapter wear life for Customers who convert to the new Cat
Advansys GET solution from similar hammerless design solutions.
In the event Cat Advansys adapter wear life does not exceed 125% of the previous adapter baseline, Caterpillar
will prorate replacement adapter cost and the dealer will support installation costs.
Use the following steps to calculate Assurance Life:
1) Determine “Baseline Life” hours - the Baseline Life is the life in hours from one of the following three
scenarios for the machine model being quoted:
a. The actual life of a previous adapter for this customer
b. Projected life to 100% for the previous Cat adapter for this customer
c. If the customer has no previous adapter experience, calculate the average life for 3 Cat machines
of the same model in similar applications and conditions
2) Determine the Assurance Life by multiplying [Baseline Life x Improvement Factor]. Improvement factor = 1.25
Here are two example scenarios:
a. Baseline Life = 9,000 hours, Improvement Factor = 1.25 = 11,250 hours. Coverage is written for
11,250 hours by dealer.
b. Baseline Life = 11,000 hours, Improvement Factor = 1.25 = 13,750 hours. Coverage is written for
12,000 hours by dealer, which is the maximum coverage supported by Caterpillar under this program.
Note: All covered failures that occur during the Parts Warranty period should be filed to Parts Warranty.

Enrollment Qualifications
• Undercarriage can be enrolled without prior Caterpillar approval

• Machines must be enrolled into either CTSi or Cat Wear Management System® with CTS Pro to be
qualified for Undercarriage Assurance

• Enrollment must be completed prior to repairs

• The machine must have a functioning hour meter

• The minimum purchase for a machine is at least one link assembly, or all track rollers on one track roller
frame, or all idlers on one track roller frame

Exception: If a component is replaced within the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period AND the customer
pays a proration amount of 25% or more of the component markup, then the Undercarriage Assurance coverage
period starts over for that component. The Yellowmark Parts Warranty does not apply to components replaced
under this exception.

• Link assemblies and track groups must be installed on the machine prior to the link assembly or track
group install-by date. The install-by date can be found on the parts label attached to the link assembly or
track group. If the parts label is missing or damaged, the install-by date is four years passed the assembly
date. The assembly date can be identified through IRM UC03-04 (PELJ0151).

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.23

Documents / Enrollment
For every Undercarriage Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep on file the following documentation:
• The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer - enrollment to Caterpillar is not required
• Yellowmark Undercarriage Assurance Enrollment Certificates PEDJ0421 is located in the Sales
Library.
• Customer invoice of original machine or replacement parts sale
• Custom Track Service (CTS) report at the time of breakage or leakage.
• Customer credit invoices
• Recommended practice - Dealers should submit informational SIMSi entry indicating date of enrollment.

Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware.
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
and thrust rings.
• The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly
method.
• Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.

Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formulas
calculate the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:

• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = [D/N Price - (Proration % x (Markup))]*


*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
*Reimbursement is reduced by 35% if machine is equipped with wide shoes - this includes shoes that
are 28” or wider for TTT, and 710 mm or wider for Hex

The proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn component (bushing or track link).
For track rollers, carrier rollers, or idlers, proration is based off the % worn of the component being replaced.

*NOTE: Failures during the New Machine Warranty or Yellowmark Parts Warranty periods must be filed against
these warranty programs, not against Undercarriage Assurance. If there is an undercarriage Product Support
Program (PSP) in effect that covers the component failure, dealers must claim under the PSP.

Undercarriage Assurance applies when all other available coverages have expired.

or Cat Wear Management System® with CTS Pro to be qualified for Undercarriage Assurance.
• Enrollment must be completed prior to repairs being performed.
• The machine must have a functioning hour meter.
• The minimum purchase for a machine is at least one link assembly, or all track rollers on one track roller
frame, or all idlers on one track roller frame.
Exception: If a component is replaced within the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period AND the customer pays a
proration amount of 25% or more of the component markup, then the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period starts
over for that component. The new parts warranty does not apply to components replaced under this exception.

2 05.33-00 (09/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.33

• Link assemblies and track groups must be installed on the machine prior to the link assembly or track group
install-by date. The install-by date can be found on the parts label attached to the link assembly or track group.
If the parts label is missing or damaged, the install-by date is four years past the assembly date. The assembly
date can be identified through IRM UC03-04 (PELJ0151).

Documentation/Enrollment
For every Undercarriage Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep on file the following documentation:
• The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer - enrollment to Caterpillar is not required.
• Undercarriage Assurance Enrollment Certificate, PEEP 9284, is located in Cat Publications for this VA program.
• Customer invoice of original machine or replacement parts sale.
• Custom Track Service (CTS) report at the time of breakage or leakage.
• Customer credit invoices.
• Recommended practice - Dealer should submit informational SIMSi entry indicating date of enrollment.

Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware.
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
thrust rings, roller shells, idler shells, and/or shafts.
Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (%Worn x (Markup))*
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn. For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace
the undercarriage when the bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn
component (bushing or track link).
The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly method.
Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.
Example 1: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 3 joints are dry. Dealer Net
Price of link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800.
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2,000.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2,000.
Example 2: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
damaged and cannot be reused. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair.
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800.
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $27,000.
• Replace is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $14,800.
Example 3: D11T not at bushing turn time has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints are dry. Links are
OK and can be reused. Track repair can be made with new pins, bushings, and seals. Dealer Net Price of link
assembly is $25,000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair.
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $25,000 - (30% x (1.36 x $25,000)) = $14,800.
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $9,000.

05.33-00 (09/19) 3
Bulletin No. 5.33 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

• Repair is the least costly method.


• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $9,000.
• The decision to repair or replace in this situation should be discussed between the dealer and the customer
to determine the best overall value for the customer.
*NOTE: Failures during the New Machine Warranty or New Parts Warranty periods must be filed against these
warranty programs, not against Undercarriage Assurance. If there is an undercarriage Product Support Program
(PSP) in effect that covers the component failure, dealers must claim under the PSP.

Undercarriage Assurance applies when all other available coverages have expired.

Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
For Genuine:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (%Worn x (Markup))*
For General Duty:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (Proration % x (Markup))*
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36

Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn. For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace
the undercarriage when the bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn
component (bushing or track link).
For track rollers, carrier rollers, or idlers, proration is based off the % worn of the component being replaced.

General Duty will use Table 1 to calculate the Proration %. This is based upon % Wear and Part Hours.

Example 1: (% Wear): 320 with Genuine Undercarriage has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%, and 2 joints are
dry. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $5000 - (30% x (1.36 x $5000)) = $2960
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2500.
• Repair is the least costly method.
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2500
• The decision to repair or replace in this situation should be discussed between the dealer and the
customer to determine the best overall value for the customer

Example 2: (Proration %): 320 has a General Duty Undercarriage with 1250 hours and link wear is 30%, and 30
joints are dry. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000.

Small & Medium Track-Type Tractors (D3-D8)
& Loaders Undercarriage Assurance Program
Effective for Undercarriage sales on/after 01JAN2019

Overview
Undercarriage Assurance for Small and Medium Track-Type Tractors and Track-Type Loaders is a leakage and
breakage program developed by Caterpillar for specific undercarriage components on certain track-type machines
with steel track. The programs are primarily designed to assure users of structural integrity and sealability.

They are used by dealers, when necessary, to obtain new machine or parts sales by offering product support
enhancements. These additional product support offerings go beyond the Standard New Machine or Parts
Warranties. The cost of the offerings is shared between Caterpillar and the dealer.

• During a normal bushing turn, on sealed and lubricated track, link assembly components that are ordinarily
reusable but do not meet Caterpillar’s reuse guidelines (reference SEBF8558 Guideline for Reusable Track
Parts) - specifically includes bushings with end grooving that exceed reuse guidelines.
• In addition to failed components (pins, bushings, sleeve bearings, thrust rings, links and/or master links),
normal maintenance parts are reimbursable. This includes hardware, oil, seals, stoppers, plugs, and thrust
rings used to make the repair.
• Oil leaks and breakage on dealer rebuilt rollers (reshelled) and rebuilt idlers (reshelled, resealed or welded).
• Severe heavy link spalling that affects 30% or more of a link rail surface.
• Program coverage continues after bushing turns, provided the turn is performed within the applicable
coverage period - the coverage period DOES NOT start over after the bushing turn.

Not Covered Undercarriage Components


• Product Types: Track-type Log Skidders, Track Feller Bunchers, (including Timberking™ and Cat® 500
Series), Compact Track Loaders with steel undercarriage.
• Undercarriage components that have a brand other than Caterpillar.

Not Covered Undercarriage Failures


• Premature failure from abnormal wear as a result of configuration mismatch with Cat and non-Cat
components (i.e. Cat rollers and non-Cat link assembly).
• During a normal bushing turn, link assembly maintenance parts including hardware, oil, seals, stoppers,
plugs, and reusable thrust rings.
• Rebuilt track link assemblies with track link “build-up” (welded rails).
• Rebuilt (welded wear surfaces) track rollers.
• Re-grousered or dealer modified track shoes.
• Dry track joints with ice lugged shoes where ice lug centerline is greater than 2 inches outside track bolt
hole centerline. Effective with ice lug installation after July 31, 2018, refer to Service Magazine Media
Number-M0096345.

Enrollment Qualifications
• Undercarriage can be enrolled without prior Caterpillar approval.
• Effective with machine or parts sales on or after January 1, 2019, machines must be enrolled into either CTSi
or Cat Wear Management System® with CTS Pro to be qualified for Undercarriage Assurance.
• Enrollment must be completed prior to repairs being performed.
• The machine must have a functioning hour meter.
• The minimum purchase for a machine is at least one link assembly, or all track rollers on one track roller
frame, or all idlers on one track roller frame.

2 05.34-00 (09/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 5.39

Exception: If a component is replaced within the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period AND the customer pays a
proration amount of 25% or more of the component markup, then the Undercarriage Assurance coverage period starts
over for that component. The New Parts Warranty does not apply to components replaced under this exception.
• Link assemblies and track groups must be installed on the machine prior to the link assembly or track group
install-by date. The install-by date can be found on the parts label attached to the link assembly or track group.
If the parts label is missing or damaged, the install-by date is four years past the assembly date. The assembly
date can be identified through IRM UC03-04 (PELJ0151).

Documentation/Enrollment
For every Undercarriage Assurance Program enrollment, dealers must keep on file the following documentation:
• The completed agreement between the dealer and the customer - enrollment to Caterpillar is not required
• Undercarriage Assurance Enrollment Certificate, PEEP 9284, is located in Cat Publications for this VA
program.
• Customer invoice of original machine or replacement parts sale
• Custom Track Service (CTS) report at the time of breakage or leakage
• Customer credit invoices
• Recommended practice - Dealer should submit informational SIMSi entry indicating date of enrollment

Dealer Reimbursement
Definitions of Replace vs. Repair:
• Replace: Installing a new link assembly, track group, track roller group, carrier roller group, sprocket,
shoe, idler, and/or track shoe or sprocket hardware.
• Repair: Replacing individual components to reuse an assembly, including links, bushings, pins, seals,
thrust rings, roller shells, idler shells, and/or shafts.
• The maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to the dealer is determined by the least costly
method.
• Any link assembly with 80% or greater link wear must be replaced and not repaired.
• Refer to Table 3 for coverage details.
Component proration - is intended for the dealer to credit the customer’s account for unused life on link
assemblies, track rollers, carrier rollers or idlers that are replaced rather than repaired. The following formula
calculates the parts price that is claimed to Caterpillar:
For HDXL and Genuine SALT:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (%Worn x (Markup))*
For SystemOne and General Duty:
• Caterpillar reimbursement to dealer = D/N Price - (Proration % x (Markup))*
*Markup represents D/N x 1.36
Note: For undercarriage where the expectation is to turn bushings, the proration of the link assembly is based
on the track link percent worn. For undercarriage where the expectation is NOT to turn bushings, but to replace
the undercarriage when the bushings are worn out, the proration of the link assembly is based on the most worn
component (bushing or track link).
For track rollers, carrier rollers, or idlers, proration is based off the % worn of the component being replaced.

SystemOne will use Table 1 and General Duty will use Table 2 to calculate the Proration %. This is based upon
% Wear and Part Hours.

Example 1:(% Wear) D6T with HDXL Undercarriage has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 2 joints are dry.
Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $5000 - (30% x (1.36 x $5000)) = $2960
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $2500.
• Repair is the least costly method.

05.39-00 (09/19) 3
Bulletin No. 5.39 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2500


• The decision to repair or replace in this situation should be discussed between the dealer and the
customer to determine the best overall value for the customer.
Example 2:(Proration %) D6T with SystemOne Undercarriage has 2500 hours and link wear is 30%. 30 joints
are dry. Dealer Net Price of link assembly is $5000.
• Calculate the cost for replacement versus repair
• Replace: Dealer Reimbursement = $5000 - (40% x (1.36 x $5000)) = $2280
• Repair: Dealer Net Price of repair parts plus D&A labor = $9000
• Replace is the least costly method
• Maximum amount of Caterpillar’s reimbursement to dealer = $2280
*NOTE: Failures during the new machine warranty or new parts warranty periods must be filed against these
warranty programs, not against Undercarriage Assurance. If there is an undercarriage Product Support Program
(PSP) in effect that covers the component failure, dealers must claim under the PSP.

Undercarriage Assurance applies when all other available coverages have expired.

15,001 – up 1,501 - up 100%

Proration is determined by the part or propel hours, whichever would have a higher proration percentage factor.

Example 1 - A failure occurs with 12,500 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 2.5 years old and
has 1155 propel hours. Proration would be 80% as the Part hours results in the higher proration percentage factor.

Example 2 - A failure occurs with 12,500 hours accumulated on the cast crawler shoes that are 2.5 years old and
has 1385 propel hours. Proration would be 90% as the propel hours results in the higher proration percentage
factor.

06.01-19 (04/16) 7
Bulletin No. 6.01 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Additional Unique Claiming Requirements


Multiple Failures/Repairs in a Single Dealer Visit
When a dealer visit results in multiple repairs:
• A claim for each repair must be submitted to Caterpillar.
• Each of the claims must reference all other claims associated with the visit in the claim story.
For example, if a dealer visit results in three repairs, three claims must be submitted to Caterpillar. After the
Caterpillar claim numbers are assigned, each Claim Story must be updated with a reference to the other two
Caterpillar claim numbers.
Note: This requirement does not apply to service letters.
Sublets and Miscellaneous Expenses
Invoices for parts service charges, freight, towing, sublets and all other miscellaneous expenses must be attached to
the claim in SIMS. Failure to provide invoices may result in expense items being denied. All invoices must reference
the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), provide an itemized list of expenses for parts, labor, and material charges
and offer a reason for claiming labor. All information submitted must be valid and verifiable.

➤ Towing
Towing reimbursement is intended for trucks that are disabled and further operation will cause additional damage
to the unit or create a potential public safety hazard. The following is a list of towing reimbursement requirements:
• Towing is reimbursed from the location of failure to the nearest authorized repair location only. The trip
back to the towing facility is not reimbursed.
• Towing to a location to unload or unhook from a trailer/load is not reimbursed, except in a situation to
safely remove the unit from a busy highway.
• Towing invoices must be itemized to show all charges, such as cost per mile/kilometer/hour, hook-up
fee, mileage, trailer drop fees, drive shaft removal and/or installation fees, etc. Charges that are not
justified will not be reimbursed. Since towing charges are reimbursed at average regional rates, towing
reimbursement may not cover all expenses if the company charges more than what is normal for the
area.
• A physical address for hook up and drop off locations must be found on Google maps.
• A VIN and all required/relevent information for the unit towed must be on the original invoice, not hand
written in at a later time.
• Towing invoices must be attached to SIMS and retained according to bulletin 1.03. Any receipt not
having the required information will be denied.
Pictures
Clear pictures of the defect area for all DPF, DOC, EGR cooler and wiring harness defects must be attached to
the claim in SIMS.
Work Order Closing Summaries
Work order closing summaries must be attached to the claim in SIMS in the following situations:
• Multiple failures/claims for one dealer visit.
• Claims with wiring harness repairs totaling more than 3 hours of labor.
• Any claim for a repair with more than 3 hours of troubleshooting.
➤ Late Claim Exceptions:
• For EPP/ESC and parts warranty claims, refer to Warranty Bulletin 1.13.
• For Vocational On-Highway Truck standard warranty and emissions warranty claims:
• Caterpillar caused issue that the claim is late, contact onhighwaywarranty@cat.com for consideration
• Dealer caused issue that the claim is late, contact the On-Highway Truck Service Representative for
consideration

8 ➤ Indicates change. 06.01-19 (04/16)


Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 6.01

• For all Standard and Emissions Warranty Vocational Truck repairs submitted on or after 01JUL2016,
original claims (All PD Codes excluding Contested Claims PD Code 98) and additional information
supplemental claims (PD Code 20) must be received in the Caterpillar Claims system within 50 days from
the last date of significant labor for that repair.
Parts Hold:
For all Standard and Emissions Warranty Vocational Truck repairs submitted on or after 01JUL2016, all removed/
replaced parts must be properly tagged and held by the dealer for 30 days after your claim has been approved/
reimbursed.
Pre-Delivery Repairs
Caterpillar requests dealers to provide a final check-up and make any minor adjustments required prior to
delivery of the Vocational On-Highway Truck to the customer. Normally these check-ups and adjustments,
which include checks for proper equipment operation, completeness, fluid levels, tire pressure, literature, etc.,
are considered as standard dealer preparations and are therefore not reimbursable.
If defects are encountered that cannot be classified as normal factory delivery inspection (FDI), but rather
corresponding to a repair, dealers are requested to complete such repairs under warranty. Since the Vocational
On-Highway Truck has not been sold, Caterpillar will accept pre-delivery claims, including the labor required for
repairs encountered during preparations. Labor is reimbursable at the Vocational On-highway Truck Labor Rate.
1) Each incident has to be reported on a separate claim and a corresponding SIMS Report must have
been submitted prior to the claim being submitted.
2) Labor should be broken down per TRG guidelines.
3) Delivery date should be entered as 00NIS00 on the claim.

Battery Failures
Refer to Bulletin 4.07 for additional information regarding battery warranty and repairs.

Factory Delivery Inspections


Dealers can claim, via the Caterpillar Warranty Claim System, the cost associated to complete a factory delivery
inspection. Use the information below for claim submission:

• Part Causing Failure (PCF) = 000-7588


• SMCS Code or Group Number for FDI submission = 7588
• Time allowance for FDI completion = 1.7 hours

In-Transit Damages for CT660 Vocational Trucks


Dealers can claim, via the Caterpillar Warranty Claiming System, repairing costs for in-transit CT660 Vocational Trucks
that are damaged by the carrier. To start this process, e-mail an estimate for repair and pictures of the damage to
Truck Movers via HYPERLINK cat.claims@truckmovers.com. Within 24 hours, the estimate will be approved/denied/or
additional information will be requested. After the estimate is approved, the dealer will receive a repair amount and an
approval number. Once the repairs are complete, submit the bill through standard warranty to receive reimbursement.
The following information is required on the control page of CLAIMSi to drive proper accounting:
• Part Causing Failure (PCF) = SP0863
• Problem Description Code (DC) = 99
• Group Number = 770V
• Delivery Date - 00NIS00
• Comment Field - IN TRANSIT DAMAGE
The claim story requirements must include the nature of the damage as well as details of the repair.

Excessive Engine Oil Consumption


Verification of oil use is required before any warranty repair for excessive oil consumption is performed. When a
user contacts a dealer and registers a complaint about excessive oil use, the dealer must request that the user
substantiate the oil consumption. Have the customer keep accurate records of the additional oil consumption.
Determine the initial oil consumption rate and trend at 1,000 miles (1 600 km) and again at 5,000 miles (8 000
km). If the engine oil consumption rate exceeds the normal consumption rate of one (1) quart every 1,000 miles,
correction is warrantable.

Vocational On-Highway-Truck Diagnosis of Oil Consumption must include:


1) Examination of oil leaks
2) Pressure check of air induction system and restriction check
3) Examination of crankcase breather element and tube for cleanliness
4) Intake manifold pressure
5) Operating fuel pressure
6) Engine crankcase pressure

Oil Consumption Claim Story Requirements


For oil consumption claims, the Claim Story must include the following:
• The oil to fuel consumption ratio
• The cause of the oil consumption
• The condition of the parts that were inspected for determining the cause of oil consumption

NOTE: The “Service Calls” section of this bulletin was removed, as travel time and mileage is not reimbursable.

Product Link™ Components


Product Link components are offered as standard equipment on Caterpillar CT series On-Highway Trucks.
These units are considered part of the base truck/chassis with one year warranty. If a defect in Caterpillar
material or workmanship is identified with this product, a claim will be filed to standard warranty following the
normal warranty claiming procedures except for the group number.

Vocational On-Highway Truck


Warranty Labor Rate Administration

➤ Overview

This bulletin will provide clarity to the establishment and administration of labor rates for the CT660 Vocational
Truck and future vocational truck products. As noted in Bulletin 1.05, vocational truck labor rates are based
on market rates. This process involves understanding the labor market by dealer region as dictated by the
advertised rates in a given territory. Dealer comparisons are aligned by zip code and by comparable services
offered. Vocational truck labor rates are unique, and not intended to be compared with the On-Highway Engine
(Legacy product) rate.
Vocational Truck rates may be reviewed every six months. In cases where there are significant discrepancies
with the rate in the Caterpillar Service Claims system and local market rates, the dealer should contact their
local Caterpillar Representative (Caterpillar Vocational Service Rep) and request a review of local labor rates for
the applicable area in question. The dealer and the Caterpillar Representative would jointly complete a Local
Service Provider data sheet (see the attached form) for review of the rate in question (complete one report per
dealer branch/code). In any event, the regional office will be required to support the findings and submit them
to On-Highway Customer Services for review. On-Highway Customer Services will take the completed survey
and review the information internally for approval, and in cases where additional information is needed, they will
enlist the services of the region/field team.
Dealers may submit a change request based on market conditions by May 1 for July 1 updates and November 1
for January 1 updates. Any form received after the cutoff date will be rejected or held until the next review cycle,
if requested.
If a rate correction/change has not been requested prior to the November 1 deadline, an e-mail notification to
the Caterpillar Vocational Truck Service Rep is required to confirm that the current rate on file is going to remain
the same.
On-Highway Customer Services will provide feedback to the region as to the results of the review, and in cases
where the rate change request is favorable; they will initiate the change through Global Warranty, effective with
the approved cycle date (July 1 or January 1).

WARRANTY BULLETIN Americas North Only

Vocational On-Highway Truck

Cat® Vocational Truck


Emission Warranty
Notice:
The contents of this bulletin, for Vocational On-Highway Truck (Americas North only), take precedence
over the content in all other bulletins in the Global Guide.

Overview
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB)
require new motor vehicle and new motor vehicle engine manufacturers to provide an emission warranty to end-
users. This bulletin provides additional information to dealers regarding emission warranties provided with each
Cat® Vocational Truck distributed in the United States and Canada.

Emission Warranty
The emissions warranty period is 100,000 miles or 60 months, whichever occurs first, after the date of delivery to
the first purchaser. The emission warranty statement provided to the end-user guarantees:
• The new engines are designed, built and equipped to conform at the time of sale with applicable
regulations, and
• Are free from defects in materials and workmanship:
• Causing the engine to fail to conform to applicable emission standards for the warranty period, or
• Which cause the failure of an emission related component to be identical in all material respects to
the component as described in Caterpillar’s application for certification for the warranty period.

The Federal and California emission warranties are also described to the end user in the applicable Operation
and Maintenance Manual (OM&M).
Emission warranty does not cover dealer rebuild/exchange or Reman engines that do not have a US EPA/ARB
certification label.
Note: Any changes (additions/deletions) to this document only take effect for repairs started after the publication
changes. Considerations for previous repairs are not authorized by warranty.

The Emission Warranty Applies If:


• Engine is US EPA/ARB Certified and/or is US EPA/ARB labeled product (new engines using the
replacement engine exemption and labeled accordingly) and it is repaired in the boundaries of the United
States, Canada, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
• New or Reman engines that are designated and labeled as replacement engines, and repaired in the
boundaries of the United States, Canada, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
• The failure is due to a defect in material or workmanship of an OEM emission-related component. The
cause of the failure must be determined, and may require the disassembly of the failed part in the same
manner as is required under Caterpillar standard warranty guidelines.
• Emission components covered in Table #2 and in the emissions warranty statement.

Dealer Reimbursement Practices

Table #1
Emission Warranty Summary of Reimbursement Practices
Parts Markup

Additional Emission Warranty Information


• Caterpillar supplied parts, components or complete Reman engines that are not labeled as replacement
engines that are replaced under emission warranties are covered only for the remaining warranty period of
the original part or component.

• If a complete engine is replaced in a Cat Vocational Truck, enter a SIMS record with the serial number of
the new or Reman engine, documenting the in-service date.

• Aftermarket components may be utilized for maintenance and non-warranty repairs. The owner should
ensure that such components are equivalent in design, function and durability to genuine Cat parts.
Use of aftermarket parts does not invalidate the emission warranties. However, Caterpillar is not liable
for any subsequent failure caused by an aftermarket part. **Caterpillar Emission Solutions Aftermarket
Aftertreatment products are covered by Bulletin 7.02.

• Verification of a defect in material and/or workmanship may be required before emission warranty
coverage applies.

• The anti-tampering provision of the Clean Air Act applies regardless of the person performing work on an
engine or vehicle. It is illegal for any person to disconnect or tamper with any emission control component or
to put the engine into an uncertified configuration, other than on a temporary basis for repair purposes.

• During the terms of the emission warranty, Caterpillar, through an authorized dealer, will provide new,
remanufactured, or repaired parts and/or components at Caterpillar’s option. This may include all other engine
components damaged as a result of the failure of a defective engine emission part. The owner is encouraged to
keep adequate maintenance records, but the absence of such does not automatically invalidate this warranty.

considered as standard dealer preparations and are therefore not reimbursable.
Repairs: If defects are discovered that cannot be classified as normal pre-delivery inspection, but rather
corresponding to a repair, dealers are requested to complete such repairs under pre-delivery warranty.
 Each incident has to be reported on a separate claim and a corresponding SIMS Report must have
been submitted prior to the claim being submitted.
 Labor should be broken down per TRG guidelines.

Note: Refer to Bulletin 4.07 for additional information regarding Battery Warranty and Repairs.

Additional Emission Warranty Information


 Caterpillar supplied parts, components or complete Reman engines that are not labeled as “Replacement Engines”
that are replaced under emission warranties are covered only for the remaining warranty period of the original part
or component.
 If a complete engine is replaced in a Cat® machine, enter a SIMS record with the serial number of the new or
Reman engine, to document the in-service date.
 Aftermarket components may be utilized for maintenance and non-warranty repairs. The owner should ensure that
such components are equivalent in design, function and durability to genuine Cat parts. Use of aftermarket parts
does not invalidate Caterpillar’s emission warranties. However, Caterpillar is not liable for any subsequent failure
caused by an aftermarket part. **Caterpillar Emission Solutions Aftermarket Aftertreatment products are covered by
a separate warranty bulletin (7.02) and statement.
 Verification of a defect in Caterpillar’s material and/or workmanship may be required before emission warranty
coverage applies.

2 07.01-09 (06/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 7.01

 The user may ask, in writing, for the reasons why a claim was denied and may appeal the decision. The
dealer is encouraged to obtain assistance from Caterpillar in such cases.
 The anti-tampering provision of the Clean Air Act applies regardless of the person performing work on an
engine or vehicle. It is illegal for any person to disconnect or tamper with any emission control component or
to put the engine into an uncertified configuration, other than on a temporary basis for repair purposes.
 During the terms of the emission warranty, Caterpillar, through an authorized dealer, will provide new,
remanufactured, or repaired parts and/or components at Caterpillar’s option. This may include all other engine
components damaged as a result of the failure of a defective engine emission part. The owner is encouraged to
keep adequate maintenance records, but the absence of such does not automatically invalidate this warranty.

Reman Engine Verification


Only Reman engines, long blocks, and short blocks that are designated and labeled, as “Replacement Engines”
are eligible for Emissions Warranty. Refer to Informational Release Memorandum PELJ1278 on SIS or the Reman
web site for a list of serial number prefixes that qualify as “Replacement Engines”.
Note: Reman engine serial number prefixes products that are not listed in PELJ1278 on this list and/or are not
labeled, as “Replacement Engines” are not eligible for emissions warranty.
Note: For Reman long blocks and short blocks, only the as-shipped consist is covered by this emission warranty.

Claim Field Information

reason code is added. The “CEW” reason code will be added to all claims for an Emissions Part, whether covered
by Standard Warranty, Standard Extended Warranty or Emissions Warranty. The “CEW” is only used for reporting
and does not effect claim processing (limits, coverages or reimbursement).
Machine (Caterpillar Captive) Engine Claims:
 Related serial number field - Enter the New or Reman engine serial number.
 Claim Story - If not the original engine in the machine as documented in SIMSi, enter the machine hours

Overview
This program bulletin defines the New Machine Equipment Protection Plan (EPP) Program available through Caterpillar
for new machines with standard machine warranty. For a list of EPP programs available, refer to Machine EPP Service
Guide - Section 8.

Dealers may purchase EPP to cover the Cat® authorized dealer’s parts and/or labor responsibility for new Cat
equipment sold and delivered.

EPP provides dealer reimbursement for parts and/or labor for covered defects in Caterpillar material and manufacturer
workmanship. Repairs must be completed by a Cat authorized dealer.

Coverage for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship as defined by EPP means the failure of any
original or Cat approved replacement part to work as designed in normal service, providing proper maintenance was
received as recommended in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the Operation and Maintenance Manual
(OMM) and other applicable service literature. Mechanical breakdown means the failure of any original or replacement
part covered by EPP to work as it was designed in normal service, providing it has received customary maintenance
as recommended by the manufacturer. Any mechanical breakdown and resultant damage caused by failure of a non-
covered component (including Yellowmark™ A Caterpillar Brand, and Cat® Classic Parts) are not eligible.

Coverage Options
Caterpillar offers various EPP term and coverage options depending on the model. See appropriate Coverage
(Service) Bulletins located at the Global Warranty website at: https://warranty.cat.com/en/global-guide.html

08.01-03 (11/19) 3
Bulletin No. 8.01 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

• Components covered by any other manufacturer’s warranty statements and are therefore excluded from
Premier Coverage. If an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) other than Caterpillar has a warranty in
place for the equipment, claims should be filed and settled with that OEM prior to submitting supplemental
EPP claims. Examples include, but not limited to:
• Other Manufacturer Tires
• Other Manufacturer Hammers
• Timberking™ Products
• Forestry Work Tools
• Ag Products
• Trimble

Emissions Components
In U.S., Canada, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and South Korea certain parts and/or components may qualify for
Manufacturer Emissions Warranty in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB). The South Korea Clean Air Conservation Act requires
Caterpillar to provide an emission warranty to end users; for engines used in certain construction equipment
operated and repaired in South Korea.
Bulletin 7.01 explains the details of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and the claiming procedures for emissions
components.
Unless otherwise specified, upon expiration of the manufacturer emissions warranty, certain parts are included
in EPP and covered for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship according to the normal EPP
guidelines. See applicable EPP Coverage Bulletins for information regarding emissions components that are
beyond the terms of manufacturer emissions warranty and are enrolled in a Caterpillar EPP.

Claiming Practices for Service Letters PIP/PSP on Machines Covered by


the New Machine EPP
• Product Improvement Programs (PIP) and Product Support Programs (PSP), performed on equipment
covered by this program must be claimed under the appropriate PIP or PSP
• Do not claim these repairs under the EPP. Refer to Bulletin 1.16 Service Letters (PIP/PSP) for
additional information.
• EPP only applies to the customer participation portion of the after-failure PSP that exceeds the
Service Letter limit.

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration of any component are not covered by Powertrain EPP.
The intent is not to restore the product to a “like new” condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure. Powertrain EPP covers only the repair or replacement of the failed
component and any resultant damaged parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as
is, unless the customer authorizes and funds any additional replacement cost.
Example: While performing a Powertrain EPP repair for a piston ring failure, the dealer service technician notices
the v-belts and coolant hoses are worn and deteriorated. The service technician also notices some wear (within
acceptable limits) on the cylinder head valve guides. In addition to the piston ring failure, the service technician
replaces the v-belts and coolant hoses and reconditions the valve guides to avoid future downtime.
In this example, the v-belts, coolant hoses and valve guide reconditioning cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because
they did not have a defect, nor were they damaged as a result of the piston ring failure. They were repaired or replaced
as a result of the customer responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventive maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the piston ring failed due to abuse (such as operating without changing oil at the proper interval), the
ring failure and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect, and therefore is not a covered failure.

4 08.01-03 (11/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.01

Customer’s Responsibilities
• Operating the product properly and within the limits of intended capacity and application
• Fueling, lubricating, adjusting, operating, and maintaining the equipment as instructed by the dealer and in
accordance with the recommendations set forth in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the OMM and
other applicable service literature
• Notifying the dealer promptly if a problem exists
• Promptly making the product available to the dealer for warranty repairs and product improvement programs
• Assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the specified service intervals as
described in the OMM. Preventative maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the servicing, adjusting and/
or replacing of specified components
Powertrain EPP does not cover failure of any components if customer’s responsibilities are not followed. The dealer
may be required to provide proof of compliance with the maintenance schedules, at the time of a failure. Proof may
include receipts, copies of work orders, or invoices showing the performed maintenance services.

Dealer’s Responsibilities
• Confirm that the equipment has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. If a failure
exists, the equipment must be repaired prior to registering it for EPP
• Repair equipment using the most economical method and install only genuine Cat parts
• Keep on file the applicable inspection and all parts and labor invoices relative to required repairs
• Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP if broader coverage was offered to the customer
• Register equipment for EPP and pay applicable fees

Parts Book Component Codes


On most pages of all Cat Parts Books (paper or electronic), is printed a four-digit numeric SMCS component code.
These component codes are used to describe the area of primary use for the parts and/or components listed on
that page.
Following are the SMCS component codes that Caterpillar considers part of Powertrain EPP. Each component
code listed on the parts book page should be compared to this list of acceptable Powertrain EPP components.
NOTE: Sometimes a Parts Book page with an acceptable Powertrain EPP component code will include parts that
are not covered or may include parts that are broken out on another Parts Book page. Additionally, there may be
instances of a non-acceptable component code containing parts that may qualify for Powertrain EPP coverage.
For clarification regarding coverage, please submit a ticket through the Warranty Service Desk.

Use of Parts Book Component Code on Labor Expense Lines


Some codes may indicate the use of a substitute code. Substitute codes apply only when using the component code
on a labor expense line, if labor reimbursement is applicable.
Example: 1299 Hydraulic Timing Advance (use 1272)
Using a canceled component code on a labor expense line will cause the entire service claim to be canceled.
NOTE: Refer to Bulletins 1.06 and 1.09 for proper group number and labor line SMCS code usage.
On the following page are the SMCS component codes in numeric order that Caterpillar considers part of Powertrain
EPP. For qualification, the component code listed on the parts book page should be compared to this list of acceptable
hydraulic or technology components.
The SMCS component codes can be used as a guide for helping to determine if a failed part may be considered part
of Powertrain EPP coverage.

Hydraulic Equipment Protection Plan (EPP)


Effective and Applicable to Hydraulic Mining Shovels (HMS) with Delivery Dates
Prior to 31DEC2018. Coverages enrollments for HMS prohibited after this date.

Overview
This coverage bulletin defines the hydraulic components that are covered under various new, used and rebuild
equipment programs offered through Caterpillar. Hydraulic components are the components on equipment that are
associated with steering and implement
control.

Refer to the Standard Machine Warranty and applicable program bulletins for covered component failures during
the standard warranty period and refer to this Hydraulic EPP for covered component failures during the EPP
coverage period.

Components Covered Under Hydraulic EPP


EPP provides dealer reimbursement for parts and/or labor for covered defects in Caterpillar material and
manufacturer workmanship. Repairs must be completed by a Cat® authorized dealer.
Coverage for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship as defined by EPP means the failure of any
original or Cat approved replacement part to work as designed in normal service, providing proper maintenance
was received as recommended in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the Operation and Maintenance
Manual (OMM) and other applicable service literature. Mechanical breakdown means the failure of any original
or replacement part covered by EPP to work as it was designed in normal service, providing it has received
customary maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer. Any mechanical breakdown and resultant damage
caused by failure of a non-covered component (including Yellowmark™, A Caterpillar Brand, and Cat® Classic
brand parts) are not eligible.
Hydraulic EPP includes the components covered by Powertrain EPP (Bulletin 8.01) and additional components
identified by this bulletin.
See the Parts Book Component Codes section below.

Emissions Components
In U.S., Canada, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and South Korea certain parts and/or components may qualify for
Manufacturer Emissions Warranty in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB). The South Korea Clean Air Conservation Act requires
Caterpillar to provide an emission warranty to end users; for engines used in certain construction equipment
operated and repaired in South Korea. Bulletin 7.01 explains the details of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and
the claiming procedures for emissions components.

08.02-04 (11/19) 3
Bulletin No. 8.02 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Unless otherwise specified, upon expiration of the Manufacturer Emissions Warranty, certain parts are included
in EPP and covered for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship according to the normal EPP
guidelines. See applicable EPP Coverage Bulletins for information regarding emissions components that are
beyond the terms of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and are enrolled in a Caterpillar EPP.

Claiming Practices for Service Letters PIP/PSP on Machines Covered by the


New Machine EPP
• Product Improvement Programs (PIP) and Product Support Programs (PSP), performed on equipment
covered by this program must be claimed under the appropriate PIP or PSP
• Do not claim these repairs under the EPP. Refer to Bulletin 1.16 Service Letters (PIP/PSP) for additional
information
• EPP only applies to the customer participation portion of the after-failure PSP that exceeds the Service
Letter limit

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration of any component are not covered by Hydraulic EPP.
The intent is not to restore the product to a “like new” condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure. Hydraulic EPP covers only the repair or replacement of the failed
component and any resultant damaged parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is,
unless the customer authorizes and funds any additional replacement cost.
Example: While performing a Hydraulic EPP repair of a leaking bucket cylinder, the dealer service technician
notices the hydraulic hoses have cuts from falling rocks. The service technician also notices some wear (within
acceptable limits) in the rod eye bearing. In addition to repairing the leaking bucket cylinder, the service technician
replaces the hydraulic hoses and rod eye bearing to avoid future downtime.
In this example the hydraulic hoses and rod eye bearing cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because they did not have
a defect nor were they damaged as a result of the leaking bucket cylinder. They were repaired or replaced as a
result of Customer Responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventive maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the bucket cylinder seals failed due to abuse (damage to the cylinder rod from falling rocks), the repair
of the leaking lift cylinder and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not a
covered failure.

Customer’s Responsibilities
• Operating the product properly and within the limits of intended capacity and application
• Fueling, lubricating, adjusting, operating, and maintaining the equipment as instructed by the dealer and in
accordance with the recommendations set forth in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the OMM and
other applicable service literature
• Notifying the dealer promptly if a problem exists
• Promptly making the product available to the dealer for warranty repairs and product improvement
• Programs
• Assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the specified service intervals as
described in the OMM. Preventative maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the servicing, adjusting and/
or replacing of specified components
Hydraulic EPP does not cover failure of any components if Customer’s Responsibilities are not followed. The dealer
may be required to provide proof of compliance with the maintenance schedules, at the time of a failure. Proof may
include receipts, copies of work orders, or invoices showing the performed maintenance services.

4 08.02-04 (11/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.02

Dealer’s Responsibilities
• Confirm that the equipment has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. If a failure
exists, the equipment must be repaired prior to registering it for EPP
• Repair equipment using the most economical method and install only genuine Cat® parts
• Keep on file the applicable inspection and all parts and labor invoices relative to required repairs
• Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP if broader coverage was offered to the customer
• Register equipment for EPP and pay applicable fees

Parts Book Component Codes


On most pages of all Cat Parts Books (paper or electronic), is printed a four-digit numeric Service Management
Control System (SMCS) component code. These component codes are used to describe the area of primary use
for the parts and/or components listed on that page.
Following are the SMCS component codes that Caterpillar considers part of Hydraulic EPP. Each component code
listed on the parts book page should be compared to this list of acceptable Hydraulic EPP components.
NOTE: Sometimes a Parts Book page with an acceptable Hydraulic EPP component code will include parts that
are not covered or may include parts that are broken out on another Parts Book page. Additionally, there may be
instances of a non-acceptable component code containing parts that may qualify for Hydraulic EPP coverage. For
clarification regarding coverage, please submit a ticket through the Warranty Service Desk.

Use of Parts Book Component Code on Labor Expense Lines


Some codes may indicate the use of a substitute code. Substitute codes apply only when using the component
code on a labor expense line, if labor reimbursement is applicable.
Example: 1299 Hydraulic Timing Advance (use 1272)
Using a canceled component code on a labor expense line will cause the entire service claim to be canceled.
NOTE: Refer to Bulletins 1.06 and 1.09 for proper group number and labor line SMCS code usage.
On the following page are the SMCS component codes in numeric order that Caterpillar considers part of
Hydrualic EPP. For qualification, the component code listed on the parts book page should be compared
to this list of acceptable hydraulic or technology components.
The SMCS component codes can be used as a guide for helping to determine if a failed part may be
considered part of Hydraulic EPP coverage.

Manufacturer Emissions Warranty in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB). The South Korea Clean Air Conservation Act requires
Caterpillar to provide an emission warranty to end users; for engines used in certain construction equipment
operated and repaired in South Korea.

4 08.03-04 (11/19)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.03

Bulletin 7.01 explains the details of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and the claiming procedures for emissions
components.
Unless otherwise specified, upon expiration of the Manufacturer Emissions Warranty, certain parts are included
in EPP and covered for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship according to the normal EPP
guidelines. See applicable EPP Coverage Bulletins for information regarding emissions components that are
beyond the terms of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and are enrolled in a Caterpillar EPP.

Claiming Practices for Service Letters PIP/PSP on Machines Covered by


the New Machine EPP
• Product Improvement Programs (PIP) and Product Support Programs (PSP), performed on equipment
covered by this program must be claimed under the appropriate PIP or PSP
• Do not claim these repairs under the EPP. Refer to Bulletin 1.16 Service Letters (PIP/PSP) for
additional information
• EPP only applies to the customer participation portion of the after-failure PSP that exceeds the
Service Letter limit

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration of any component are not covered by Premier EPP.
The intent is not to restore the product to a “like new” condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure. Premier EPP covers only the repair or replacement of the failed component
and any resultant damaged parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as-is unless the
customer authorizes and funds any additional replacement cost.
Example: While performing a Premier EPP repair for a piston ring failure, the dealer service technician notices
the v-belts and coolant hoses are worn and deteriorated. The service technician also notices some wear (within
acceptable limits) on the cylinder head valve guides. In addition to the piston ring failure, the service technician
replaces the v-belts and coolant hoses and reconditions the valve guides to avoid future downtime.
In this example the v-belts, coolant hoses and valve guide reconditioning cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because
they did not have a defect, nor were they damaged as a result of the piston ring failure. They were repaired or
replaced as a result of the Customer Responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is
performed.
NOTE: If the piston ring failed due to abuse (running without changing oil at the proper interval), the ring failure and
resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect, and therefore, not a covered failure.

Customer’s Responsibilities
• Operating the product properly and within the limits of intended capacity and application
• Fueling, lubricating, adjusting, operating, and maintaining the equipment as instructed by the dealer and
in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the
Operation and Maintenance Manual and other applicable service literature
• Notifying the dealer promptly if a problem exists
• Giving timely notice of a problem
• Promptly making the product available to the dealer for warranty repairs and product improvement
programs
Premier EPP program does not cover failure of any components if Customer’s Responsibilities are not followed. The
dealer may be required to provide proof of compliance with the maintenance schedules, at the time of a failure. Proof
may include receipts or copies of work orders or invoices showing the performed maintenance services.

Dealer Responsibilities
• Confirm that the equipment has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. If a failure
exists, the equipment must be repaired prior to registering it for EPP.

08.03-04 (11/19) 5
Bulletin No. 8.03 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

• Repair equipment using the most economical method and install only genuine Cat® parts.
• Keep on file the applicable inspection and all parts and labor invoices relative to required repairs.
• Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP if broader coverage was offered to the customer.
• Register equipment for EPP and pay applicable fees.

Parts Book Component Codes


At the bottom of each page on all Cat Parts Books (paper or electronic), is printed a four-digit numeric SMCS
component code. These component codes are used to describe the area of primary use for the parts and/or
components listed on that page.
NOTE: Sometimes a parts book page with an acceptable Premier EPP component code will include parts that
are not covered or may include parts that are broken out on another parts book page. Additionally, there may be
instances of a non-acceptable component code containing parts that may qualify for powertrain coverage. For
clarification regarding coverage, please submit a ticket through the Warranty Service Desk.

Use of Part Book Component Code on Labor Lines


Some codes may indicate the use of a substitute code. Substitute codes apply only when using the component
code on a labor expense line, if labor reimbursement is applicable.
For example: 1299 Hydraulic Timing Advance (use 1272)
Using a canceled component code on a labor expense line will cause the entire service claim to be canceled.
NOTE: Refer to Bulletins 1.06 and 1.09 for proper group number and labor line SMCS code usage.

Claiming Example for Hydraulic Couplers and Hydraulic Coupler Cylinders


Note: Two separate claims are required.
Claim #1
• Submit a standard warranty claim for parts only
• Serial number: Hydraulic coupler serial number
• NOTE: All other claiming fields are to be populated per standard process
Claim #2
• Submit a claim for labor only
• Serial Number: Machine Serial Number
• Description Code: Enter 38
• Claim Story: Claim Story should reference parts claim and must provide associated claim number. It should also
include original claim number and dealer code from the associated standard warranty claim for parts only.
• NOTE: All other claiming fields are to be populated per standard process

Caterpillar to provide an emission warranty to end users; for engines used in certain construction equipment
operated and repaired in South Korea.
Bulletin 7.01 explains the details of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and the claiming procedures for emissions
components.
Unless otherwise specified in applicable EPP Coverage Bulletins, upon expiration of the Manufacturer
Emissions Warranty, certain parts are included in EPP and covered for defects in Cat material and manufacturer
workmanship according to the normal EPP guidelines. See applicable EPP Coverage Bulletins for information
regarding emissions components that are beyond the terms of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and are enrolled
in a Caterpillar EPP.

Claiming Practices for Service Letters PIP/PSP on Machines Covered by the


New Machine EPP
• Product Improvement Programs (PIP) and Product Support Programs (PSP), performed on equipment
covered by this program must be claimed under the appropriate PIP or PSP
• Do not claim these repairs under the EPP. Refer to Bulletin 1.16 Service Letters (PIP/PSP) for additional
information

4 08.04-02 (01/20)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.04

• EPP only applies to the customer participation portion of the after-failure PSP that exceeds the Service
Letter limit

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration of any component are not covered by EPP.
The intent is not to restore the product to a “like new” condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure. EPP covers only the repair or replacement of the failed component and
any resultant damaged parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless the
customer authorizes and funds any additional replacement cost.
Example: While performing an EPP repair for a piston ring failure, the dealer service technician notices the v-belts
and coolant hoses are worn and deteriorated. The service technician also notices some wear (within acceptable
limits) on the cylinder head valve guides. In addition to the piston ring failure, the service technician replaces the
v-belts and coolant hoses and reconditions the valve guides to avoid future downtime.
In this example the v-belts, coolant hoses and valve guide reconditioning cannot be claimed under EPP because
they did not have a defect, nor were they damaged as a result of the piston ring failure. They were repaired or
replaced as a result of the Customer Responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventive maintenance is
performed.
NOTE: If the piston ring failed due to abuse (such as operating without changing oil at the proper interval), the
ring failure and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not a covered failure.
Example: While performing a Hydraulic EPP repair of a leaking bucket cylinder, the dealer service technician
notices the hydraulic hoses have cuts from falling rocks. The service technician also notices some wear (within
acceptable limits) in the rod eye bearing. In addition to repairing the leaking bucket cylinder, the service technician
replaces the hydraulic hoses and rod eye bearing to avoid future downtime.
In this example the hydraulic hoses and rod eye bearing cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because they did not
have a defect, nor were they damaged as a result of the leaking bucket cylinder. They were repaired or replaced
as a result of Customer Responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventive maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the bucket cylinder seals failed due to abuse (damage to the cylinder rod from falling rocks), the repair
of the leaking lift cylinder and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not a
covered failure.
Example: While performing a Hydraulic and Technology - EPP program repair of a defective position sensing
cylinder, the dealer service technician notices the wiring harness has cuts from falling rocks. In addition to repairing
the defective position sensing cylinder, the service technician replaces the wiring harness to avoid future downtime.
In this example the wiring harness cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because it did not have a defect nor was it
damaged as a result of the defective position sensing cylinder. The wiring harness was repaired or replaced as
a result of the Customer Responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the position sensing cylinder failed due to abuse (damage to the cylinder from falling rocks), the repair
of the position sensing cylinder and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not
a covered failure.

Customer’s Responsibilities
• Operating the product properly and within the limits of intended capacity and application
• Fueling, lubricating, adjusting, operating, and maintaining the equipment as instructed by the dealer and in
accordance with the recommendations set forth in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the OMM and
other applicable service literature
• Notifying the dealer promptly if a problem exists
• Promptly making the product available to the dealer for warranty repairs and product improvement programs
• Assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the specified service intervals as
described in the OMM. Preventative maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the servicing, adjusting and/
or replacing of specified components

08.04-02 (01/20) 5
Bulletin No. 8.04 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

EPP does not cover failure of any components if Customer’s Responsibilities are not followed. The dealer may be
required to provide proof of compliance with the maintenance schedules, at the time of a failure. Proof may include
receipts, copies of work orders, or invoices showing the performed maintenance services.

Dealer’s Responsibilities
• Confirm that the equipment has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. If a failure
exists, the equipment must be repaired prior to registering it for EPP
• Repair equipment using the most economical method and install only genuine Cat® parts
• Keep on file the applicable inspection and all parts and labor invoices relative to required repairs
• Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP if broader coverage was offered to the customer
• Register equipment for EPP and pay applicable fees

Dealer Reimbursement
The following outlines the reimbursement requirements for covered travel expenses under Travel EPP:
“Travel” is defined as any travel related expense incurred while traveling to and/or from the machine being
repaired. Examples include: travel time, mileage/km, train tickets, airfare, towing, hauling, and delivery. If the
dealer did not incur any travel related expenses, then no travel/vehicle claim can be made.
Reimbursement for travel and/or mileage/km will be at the claiming dealer’s travel and vehicle rates on file in the
Caterpillar Service Claims System. See Caterpillar Global Warranty Bulletin 1.05, Labor, Travel & Vehicle Rates,
for details on travel and vehicle rates.
All covered claims receive fixed maximum travel reimbursement based on enrollment coverage selected. If actual
travel (hours/miles) are less than the enrolled coverage, the dealer will be reimbursed at the fixed maximum
amount based on the enrolled coverage.
Dealers must submit a separate travel claim. The dealer can claim up to the enrolled coverage option limits for that
serial number. Only a single travel reimbursement is allowed per covered repair. A repair is identified with unique
Service Claim and Dealer Claim numbers. Repairs requiring multiple trips are allowed only a single hour and mile/
kilometer reimbursement per covered repair.
Service Letter travel and vehicle allowances eligible for reimbursement according to the letter will not be eligible
for the Travel EPP.

Claim Limits
The maximum number of Travel claims varies depending on the selection of EPP coverage:
• Powertrain EPP: 5 claims maximum per serial number
• Hydraulic EPP: 5 claims maximum per serial number
• Hydraulic and Technology EPP: 5 claims maximum per serial number
• Premier EPP: 10 claims maximum per serial number
The Travel EPP does not limit the number of Year 1-Labor Only EPP claims a dealer may file.
Claims can be made if the dealer incurred travel related expenses regardless of where the machine is repaired.
Repairs must be completed by a Cat authorized dealer.

Bulletin No. 8.05 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Customer’s Responsibilities
The customer is responsible for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the
specified service intervals as described in the O&M Manuals. Preventative maintenance includes, but is not
limited to, the servicing, adjusting and/or replacing of specified components.
Engine-Only EPP Mining Products does not cover failure of any components as a result of not performing
scheduled maintenance. The dealer may be required to provide proof of compliance with the maintenance
schedules, at the time of a failure. Proof may include receipts or copies of work orders or invoices showing the
performed maintenance services.

S•O•SSM Fluid Analysis Test Results


S•O•S is not a requirement of the EPP program, other than the 6000 series Hydraulic Mining Shovels, however
it is recommended that, at the point of enrollment, S•O•S sampling begins at the first recommended interval and
continues throughout the remainder of the EPP coverage term. For the 6000 series Hydraulic Mining Shovels,
the S•O•S is a requirement of the EPP program and S•O•S sampling should begin at the first recommended
interval and continue throughout the remainder of the EPP coverage term.

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration are not covered by Engine-Only EPP Mining Products. The intent is not to restore
the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating condition just prior to the
covered failure. The Engine-Only EPP covers only the repair or replacement of the failed component and any re-
sultant damaged parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless the customer
authorized the additional cost for their account.
Example: While performing an Engine-Only EPP Mining Products repair for a piston ring failure, the dealer
service technician notices the vee belts and coolant hoses are worn and deteriorated. He also notices some wear
(within acceptable limits) on the cylinder head valve guides. In addition to the piston ring failure, the service tech-
nician replaces the vee belts and coolant hoses, and reconditions the valve guides to avoid future downtime.
In this example the vee belts, coolant hoses and valve guide reconditioning cannot be claimed to Caterpillar
because they did not have a defect, nor were they damaged as a result of the piston ring failure. They were
repaired or replaced as a result of the customer responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventative
maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the piston ring failed due to abuse (running without changing oil at the proper interval), the ring failure
and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore not a covered failure.

Parts Book Component Codes


At the bottom of each page on all Cat Parts Books (paper or electronic), is printed a four-digit numeric Service
Management Control System (SMCS) component code. These component codes are used to describe the area
of primary use for the parts and/or components listed on that page.
The SMCS component codes can be used as a mechanism for helping to determine if a failed part may be
considered part of the Basic Engine.
On the following pages are the SMCS component codes in numeric order that Caterpillar considers part of the
Basic Engine. For Engine-Only EPP Mining Products qualification, the component code listed on the parts book
page should be compared to this list of acceptable Basic Engine components.

NOTE: Sometimes a parts book page with an acceptable powertrain component code will include parts that are
not covered, or may include parts that are broken out on another parts book page. Additionally, there may be
instances of a non-acceptable component code containing parts that may qualify for powertrain coverage. For
clarification regarding coverage, please submit a ticket through the Warranty Service Desk.

4 08.05-01 (04/16)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.05

Use of Parts Book Component Code on Labor Expense Lines


Caterpillar simplified some of the SMCS component codes by phasing out and combining certain component
codes. As a result, some component codes listed on the following pages indicate in their code description to use
another component code, which is a substitute code.

For example: 1151 Cover/Housing (use 1162 or 1166)

These references which indicate use of a substitute code apply only when using the component code on a labor
expense line, if labor reimbursement is applicable. In some cases, a component code which indicates use of a
substitute code may have been canceled. Using a canceled component code on a labor expense line will cause
the entire service claim to be canceled. To avoid this, dealers should use the substitute component code, listed in
parentheses, for claiming labor reimbursement in the expenses detail section of the claim.

NOTE: Refer to Bulletins 1.06 and 1.09 for proper group number and labor line SMCS code usage.

Emissions Components
In some regions, certain parts and/or components may qualify for Emissions Warranty such as in accordance with
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB).
Bulletin 7.01 explains the details and reimbursements of emissions warranty and the claiming procedures for
emissions components. Emissions parts that are within the terms of emissions warranty must follow claim procedures
outlined in Bulletin 7.01.
• Bulletin 7.01 contains the list of parts that are eligible for Emissions Warranty. Unless otherwise specified,
upon expiration of the emissions warranty, these parts are included in Major Components EPP Mining
Products and covered against defects in material and workmanship. External lines, hoses, and wiring
harnesses are included in Major Components EPP Mining Products only when part of the Caterpillar

For machines enrolled in Major Components EPP Mining Products, please refer to the Contractual Liability Insurance
Policy (CLIP) for a complete list of exclusions and limitations. In the event of any ambiguity, the CLIP issued by
Caterpillar Insurance Company will govern. Additional information regarding the CLIP policy may be obtained by
contacting your dealership designated Warranty Manager.

Customer’s Responsibilities
The customer is responsible for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the specified
service intervals as described in the O&M Manuals. Preventative maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the
servicing, adjusting and/or replacing of specified components.
Major Components EPP Mining Products does not cover failure of any components as a result of not performing
scheduled maintenance. The dealer may be required to provide proof of compliance with the maintenance sched-
ules, at the time of a failure. Proof may include receipts or copies of work orders or invoices showing the performed
maintenance services.

S•O•SSM Fluid Analysis Test Results


S•O•S is not a requirement of the EPP program, other than the 6000 series Hydraulic Mining Shovels, however
it is recommended that, at the point of enrollment, S•O•S sampling begins at the first recommended interval and
continues throughout the remainder of the EPP coverage term. For the 6000 series Hydraulic Mining Shovels the
S•O•S is a requirement of the EPP program and S•O•S sampling should begin at the first recommended interval
and continue throughout the remainder of the EPP coverage term.

08.06-01 (12/18) 3
Bulletin No. 8.06 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration are not covered by Major Components EPP Mining Products. The intent is not to
restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating condition just prior to
the covered failure.
The Major Components EPP Mining Products covers only the repair or replacement of the failed component
and any resultant damaged parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless
the customer authorized the additional cost for their account.
Example: While performing a Major Components EPP Mining Products repair for a piston ring failure, the dealer
service technician notices the vee belts and coolant hoses are worn and deteriorated. He also notices some wear
(within acceptable limits) on the cylinder head valve guides. In addition to the piston ring failure, the service techni-
cian replaces the vee belts and coolant hoses, and reconditions the valve guides to avoid future downtime.
In this example the vee belts, coolant hoses and valve guide reconditioning cannot be claimed to Caterpillar
because they did not have a defect, nor were they damaged as a result of the piston ring failure. They were
repaired or replaced as a result of the customer responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventative
maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the piston ring failed due to abuse (running without changing oil at the proper interval), the ring failure and
resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore not a covered failure.

Parts Book Component Codes


At the bottom of each page on all Cat® Parts Books (paper or electronic), is printed a four-digit numeric Service
Management Control System (SMCS) component code. These component codes are used to describe the area of
primary use for the parts and/or components listed on that page.
The SMCS component codes can be used as a mechanism for helping to determine if a failed part may be
considered part of the Major Components EPP Mining Products.
On the following pages are the SMCS component codes in numeric order that Caterpillar considers part of the
Major Components EPP Mining Products. For Major Components EPP Mining Products qualification, the
component code listed on the parts book page should be compared to this list of acceptable major components.
NOTE: Sometimes a parts book page with an acceptable major component code will include parts that are not
covered, or may include parts that are broken out on another parts book page. Additionally, there may be instances
of a non-acceptable component code containing parts that may qualify for Major Component EPP Mining Products
coverage. For clarification regarding coverage, please submit a ticket through the Warranty Service Desk.

Use of Parts Book Component Code on Labor Expense Lines


Caterpillar simplified some of the SMCS component codes by phasing out and combining certain component
codes. As a result, some component codes listed on the following pages indicate in their code description to use
another component code, which is a substitute code.
For example: 1151 Cover/Housing (use 1162 or 1166)
These references which indicate use of a substitute code apply only when using the component code on a labor
expense line, if labor reimbursement is applicable. In some cases, a component code which indicates use of a
substitute code may have been canceled. Using a canceled component code on a labor expense line will cause
the entire service claim to be canceled. To avoid this, dealers should use the substitute component code, listed in
parentheses, for claiming labor reimbursement in the expenses detail section of the claim.
NOTE: Refer to Bulletins 1.06 and 1.09 for proper group number and labor line SMCS code usage.
Basic Engine - Refer to Bulletin 8.05 Engine-Only EPP Mining Products for a list of basic engine components.

Enrollment and Coverage Validation


By agreement between Cat Forest Products and Cat Financial Insurance Services, every eligible machine will be
automatically enrolled in the 3-2-1 / 4-3-2-1 program. Caterpillar will continuously monitor and identify eligible units
which have been delivered to end-user customers and will promptly enroll those units into the program. Eligible,
non-serialized attachments are considered part of the enrolled machine’s consist and do not require a separate
enrollment for any applicable coverage in this program (see Eligible Models section above).
As with all EPP-covered machines, dealers can verify enrollment of program-eligible machines through the
Caterpillar Service Information Management System (SIMSi) web site at https://sims.cat.com. The product coverage
and customer information screens will show the coverage start date (machine delivery date), the coverage details,
and the customer’s name and address.
NOTE: The automatic enrollment of machines began with KBL deliveries on or after July 1, 2013 and WFB/WSK/
SPT deliveries on or after July 1, 2014. Any program-eligible machine models delivered prior to these dates which
were not enrolled by the dealer may be considered for late enrollment, subject to the EPP enrollment requirements
for all other Caterpillar machines. Dealers must request such consideration by contacting Cat Financial Insurance
Services at EquipmentProtectionPlan@cat.com for further assistance.

EPP Hydromechanical Work Tools


Work Tool EPP provides reimbursement for dealer labor for covered failures occurring during the Work Tool
Standard Warranty period. Beyond the Work Tool Standard Warranty period, the EPP program provides
reimbursement for parts and labor costs for covered failures occurring during the remainder of the enrolled
coverage period.
EPP Period
The coverage period starts from the product delivery date to the first customer or into the dealer rental fleet
and includes the Caterpillar Standard Work Tool Warranty period. Coverage under EPP does not change the
Caterpillar Standard Work Tool Warranty reimbursement rates. EPP expires when the length of time is reached.
General Exclusions and Limitations
The Hydromechanical Work Tool EPP does not cover any of the following:
1. Any coverage not identified and not enrolled in the manufacturer’s enrollment program.
2. Lubricants and maintenance kits.
3. Operator abuse or neglect, including but not limited to the failure to perform the recommended preventative
maintenance as specified in the OMM.
4. Damage caused by failure to follow maintenance or repair procedures as specified in the OMM, to include
but not limited to welding procedures.
5. Applications not approved by the manufacturer, including but not limited to steel mill, underwater, scaling,
and tunneling.
6. Improper or abusive use of the Work Tool.
7. Operating at performance settings other than the standard manufacturer specification.
8. Operation beyond the design and/or capacity of the Work Tool including but not limited to:
• Oil flow in excess of the Work Tool operating specifications
• Contaminated or overheated oil from the carrier machine
• Prying, striking, or lifting when not the Work Tool’s design intent
• Hammer blank firing
• Demolition of concrete structures with the demolition and sorting grapple
• Shearing of material that exceeds limits as specified in the OMM
9. Operating Work Tools with improper fluid levels or contaminated fuel, fluids or filters.
10. Wear-out and normal deterioration.
11. Chemical corrosion and physical or mechanical erosion.
12. Acts of war, vandalism, riot, theft, explosion, collision, fire and/or any other act of nature, person or vermin.
13. Modifications, unless the modifications were authorized at the request of Caterpillar and performed at an
approved repair facility, including but not limited to welding to add buildup material or hard surfacing.
14. Physical Damage.
15. Damage to the carrier machine caused by the Work Tool.
16. Loss of time, inconvenience, downtime or downtime-related expenses, or other incidental or consequential
loss that results from a defect in material or workmanship.
17. Performance complaints not due to defect in material or workmanship.
18. Storage or miscellaneous shop supply charges.
19. Freight and taxes.
20. Costs covered by any warranty of the manufacturer or repairer’s guarantee regardless of whether they honor
such warranty or guarantee.
The Hydromechanical Work Tools EPP does not cover failure of any components as a result of not performing
scheduled maintenance. The dealer may be required to provide proof of compliance with the maintenance
schedules at the time of a failure. Proof may include receipts or copies of work orders or invoices showing the
performed maintenance services.

2 08.09-05 (08/17)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.09

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration are not covered by the Hydromechanical Work Tools EPP. The intent is not to
restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating condition just prior
to the covered failure.
The Hydromechanical Work Tools EPP covers only the repair or replacement of the failed component and
any resultant-damaged parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless
the customer authorized the additional cost for their account.
Example: While performing a hammer inspection and reseal, the dealer technician notices worn or damaged
hydraulic hoses, top buffer, side buffer, wear plates or cracks on housing. He also notices the wear on
upper bushing, lower tool bit bushing, retainer pins, thrust bushing or auto lube system and replaces these
components to avoid further downtime.
In this example, the components identified as worn or damaged cannot be claimed to Caterpillar, because
they did not have a defect and are worn as a result of operation. They were repaired or replaced as a
result of the customer responsibilities for assuring all recommended operational methods are used and
preventative maintenance is performed per schedules.
Customer’s Responsibilities
The customer is responsible for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the
specified service intervals as described in the OMM.

Parts Book Component Codes


At the bottom of each page on all Cat® Parts Books (paper or electronic), is printed a four-digit numeric SMCS
component code. These component codes are used to describe the area of primary use for the parts and/or
components listed on that page. The SMCS component codes can be used as a mechanism for helping to determine
if a failed part may be considered part of the work tool.
On the following pages are the SMCS component codes in numeric order that Caterpillar considers part of each
work tool.
NOTE: Sometimes a parts book page with an acceptable work tool component code may include parts that are
not covered, or may include parts that are broken out on another parts book page. Additionally, there may be
instances of a non-acceptable component code containing parts that may qualify for work tool coverage.

Manufacturer Emissions Warranty in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB). The South Korea Clean Air Conservation Act requires
Caterpillar to provide an emission warranty to end users; for engines used in certain construction equipment
operated and repaired in South Korea.
Bulletin 7.01 explains the details of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and the claiming procedures for emissions
components.
Unless otherwise specified, upon expiration of the Manufacturer Emissions Warranty, certain parts are included
in EPP and covered for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship according to the normal EPP
guidelines. See applicable EPP Coverage Bulletins for information regarding emissions components that are
beyond the terms of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and are enrolled in a Caterpillar EPP.

Claiming Practices for Service Letters PIP/PSP on Machines Covered by


the New Machine EPP
• Product Improvement Programs (PIP) and Product Support Programs (PSP), performed on equipment
covered by this program must be claimed under the appropriate PIP or PSP
• Do not claim these repairs under the EPP. Refer to Bulletin 1.16 Service Letters (PIP/PSP) for
additional information
• EPP only applies to the customer participation portion of the after-failure PSP that exceeds the
Service Letter limit

Wear-Out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration of any component are not covered by Hydraulic and Technology EPP.
The intent is not to restore the product to a “like new” condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure. Hydraulic and Technology EPP covers only the repair or replacement
of the failed component and any resultant damaged parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be
reinstalled as is, unless the customer authorizes and funds any additional replacement cost.
Example: While performing a Hydraulic and Technology - EPP program repair of a defective position sensing
cylinder, the dealer service technician notices the wiring harness has cuts from falling rocks. In addition to repairing
the defective position sensing cylinder, the service technician replaces the wiring harness to avoid future downtime.
In this example the wiring harness cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because it did not have a defect nor was it
damaged as a result of the defective position sensing cylinder. The wiring harness was repaired or replaced as
a result of the Customer Responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the position sensing cylinder failed due to abuse (damage to the cylinder from falling rocks), the repair
of the position sensing cylinder and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is
not a covered failure.

Customer's Responsibilities
• Operating the product properly and within the limits of intended capacity and application
• Fueling, lubricating, adjusting, operating, and maintaining the equipment as instructed by the dealer and in
accordance with the recommendations set forth in the applicable Caterpillar manuals, including the OMM
and other applicable service literature
• Notifying the dealer promptly if a problem exists
• Promptly making the product available to the dealer for warranty repairs and product improvement
Programs
• Assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the specified service intervals as
described in the OMM. Preventative maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the servicing, adjusting
and/or replacing of specified components
Hydraulic and Technology EPP does not cover failure of any components if Customer’s Responsibilities are not
followed. The dealer may be required to provide proof of compliance with the maintenance schedules, at the time of a
failure. Proof may include receipts, copies of work orders, or invoices showing the performed maintenance services.

Dealer's Responsibilities
• Confirm that the equipment has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. If a failure
exists, the equipment must be repaired prior to registering it for EPP
• Repair equipment using the most economical method and install only genuine Cat parts
• Keep on file the applicable inspection and all parts and labor invoices relative to required repairs
• Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP if broader coverage was offered to the customer
• Register equipment for EPP and pay applicable fees

Parts Book Component Codes


On most pages of all Cat Parts Books (paper or electronic), is printed a four-digit numeric Service Management
Control System (SMCS) component code. These component codes are used to describe the area of primary use
for the parts and/or components listed on that page.
Following are the SMCS component codes that Caterpillar considers part of Hydraulic and Technology EPP.
Each component code listed on the parts book page should be compared to this list of acceptable Hydraulic and
Technology EPP components.
NOTE: Sometimes a Parts Book page with an acceptable Hydraulic and Technology EPP component code
will include parts that are not covered or may include parts that are broken out on another Parts Book page.
Additionally, there may be instances of a non-acceptable component code containing parts that may qualify for
Hydraulic and Technology EPP coverage. For clarification regarding coverage, please submit a ticket through the
Warranty Service Desk.

Use of Parts Book Component Code on Labor Lines


Some codes may indicate the use of a substitute code. Substitute codes apply only when using the component
code on a labor expense line, if labor reimbursement is applicable.
Example: 1299 Hydraulic Timing Advance (use 1272)
Using a canceled component code on a labor expense line will cause the entire service claim to be canceled.
NOTE: Refer to Bulletins 1.06 and 1.09 for proper group number and labor line SMCS code usage.

The table below lists the SMCS component codes in numeric order that Caterpillar considers part of Hydraulic and
Technology EPP. For qualification, the component code listed on the parts book page should be compared to this
list of acceptable hydraulic or technology components.
The SMCS component codes can be used as a guide for helping to determine if a failed part may be considered part
of Hydraulic and Technology EPP coverage.

Emissions Components
In U.S., Canada, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and South Korea certain parts and/or components may qualify for
Manufacturer Emissions Warranty in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB). The South Korea Clean Air Conservation Act requires
Caterpillar to provide an emission warranty to end users; for engines used in certain construction equipment
operated and repaired in South Korea.
Bulletin 7.01 explains the details of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and the claiming procedures for emissions
components.
Unless otherwise specified, upon expiration of the Manufacturer Emissions Warranty, certain parts are included
in EPP and covered for defects in Cat material and manufacturer workmanship according to the normal EPP
guidelines. See applicable EPP Coverage Bulletins for information regarding emissions components that are
beyond the terms of Manufacturer Emissions Warranty and are enrolled in a Caterpillar EPP.

Claiming Practices for Service Letters PIP/PSP on Machines Covered by


the New Machine EPP
• Product Improvement Programs (PIP) and Product Support Programs (PSP), performed on equipment
covered by these programs must be claimed under the appropriate PIP or PSP
• Do not claim these repairs under the EPP. Refer to Bulletin 1.16 Service Letters (PIP/PSP) for
additional information
• EPP only applies to the customer participation portion of the after-failure PSP that exceeds the
Service Letter limit

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration of any component are not covered by EPP.
The intent is not to restore the product to a “like new” condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure. EPP covers only the repair or replacement of the failed component and
any resultant damaged parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless the
customer authorizes and funds any additional replacement cost.
Example: While performing an EPP repair for a piston ring failure, the dealer service technician notices the v-belts
and coolant hoses are worn and deteriorated. The service technician also notices some wear (within acceptable
limits) on the cylinder head valve guides. In addition to the piston ring failure, the service technician replaces the
v-belts and coolant hoses and reconditions the valve guides to avoid future downtime. In this example the v-belts,
coolant hoses and valve guide reconditioning cannot be claimed under EPP because they did not have a defect,
nor were they damaged as a result of the piston ring failure. They were repaired or replaced as a result of the
Customer Responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventive maintenance is performed.

8 08.11-01 (02/20)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.11

NOTE: If the piston ring failed due to abuse (such as operating without changing oil at the proper interval), the
ring failure and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not a covered failure.
Example: While performing a Hydraulic EPP repair of a leaking bucket cylinder, the dealer service technician
notices the hydraulic hoses have cuts from falling rocks. The service technician also notices some wear (within
acceptable limits) in the rod eye bearing. In addition to repairing the leaking bucket cylinder, the service technician
replaces the hydraulic hoses and rod eye bearing to avoid future downtime. In this example the hydraulic hoses
and rod eye bearing cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because they did not have a defect, nor were they damaged
as a result of the leaking bucket cylinder. They were repaired or replaced as a result of Customer Responsibilities
for assuring all recommended preventive maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the bucket cylinder seals failed due to abuse (damage to the cylinder rod from falling rocks), the repair
of the leaking lift cylinder and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not a
covered failure.
Example: While performing a Hydraulic and Technology - EPP program repair of a defective position sensing
cylinder, the dealer service technician notices the wiring harness has cuts from falling rocks. In addition to repairing
the defective position sensing cylinder, the service technician replaces the wiring harness to avoid future downtime.
In this example the wiring harness cannot be claimed to Caterpillar because it did not have a defect nor was it
damaged as a result of the defective position sensing cylinder. The wiring harness was repaired or replaced as
a result of the Customer Responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the position sensing cylinder failed due to abuse (damage to the cylinder from falling rocks), the repair
of the position sensing cylinder and resultant damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore is not
a covered failure.

Customer’s Responsibilities

Bulletin No. 8.12 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Work Tool EPP


The coverage period starts from the product delivery date to the first customer or into the dealer rental fleet
and includes the Caterpillar Standard Work Tool Warranty period. Coverage under Work Tool EPP does not
change the Caterpillar Standard Work Tool Warranty reimbursement rates. Work Tool EPP expires when the
length of time is reached.
The Work Tool EPP program structure provides the dealer with the following two distinct options:
New EPP - Year 1 - Labor Only
Provides protection for dealer labor cost exposures under the Caterpillar Work Tool warranty (Refer to Warranty
Bulletin 2.02). It is effective at the delivery date to the first customer or into the dealer rental fleet. The program
provides one level of coverage: Premier.
New EPP – Year 2 & Beyond
Provides protection for coverage beyond Caterpillar Work Tool warranty (Refer to Warranty Bulletin 2.02) for
parts and labor and includes one level of coverage: Premier.

General Exclusions and Limitations


Work Tool EPP does not cover any of the following:
1. Any coverage not identified and not enrolled in the manufacturer’s enrollment program.
2. Lubricants and maintenance kits.
3. Operator abuse or neglect, including but not limited to the failure to perform the recommended preventative
maintenance as specified in the OMM.
4. Damage caused by failure to follow maintenance or repair procedures as specified in the OMM, to include
but not limited to welding procedures.
5. Applications not approved by the manufacturer, including but not limited to steel mill, underwater, scaling,
and tunneling.
6. Improper or abusive use of the Work Tool.
7. Operating at performance settings other than the standard manufacturer specification.
8. Operation beyond the design and/or capacity of the Work Tool including but not limited to:
• Oil flow in excess of the Work Tool operating specifications
• Contaminated or overheated oil from the carrier machine
• Prying, striking, or lifting when not the Work Tool’s design intent
• Hammer blank firing
• Demolition of concrete structures with the demolition and sorting grapple
• Shearing of material that exceeds limits as specified in the OMM
9. Operating Work Tools with improper fluids or fluid levels or contaminated fuel, fluids or filters.
10. Wear-out and normal deterioration.
11. Chemical corrosion and physical or mechanical erosion.
12. Acts of war, vandalism, riot, theft, explosion, collision, fire and/or any other act of nature, person or vermin.
13. Modifications, unless the modifications were authorized at the request of Caterpillar and performed at an
approved repair facility, including but not limited to welding to add buildup material or hard surfacing.
14. Physical Damage.
15. Damage to the carrier machine caused by the Work Tool.
16. Loss of time, inconvenience, downtime or downtime-related expenses, or other incidental or consequential
loss that results from a defect in material or workmanship.

2 08.12-00 (01/18)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.12

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and/or deterioration are not covered by the Work Tools EPP. The intent is not to restore the
product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating condition just prior to the
covered failure.
Work Tools EPP covers only the repair or replacement of the failed component and any resultant-damaged
parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless the customer authorized
the additional cost for their account.
Example: While performing a hammer inspection and reseal, the dealer technician notices worn or damaged
hydraulic hoses, top buffer, side buffer, wear plates or cracks on housing. He also notices the wear on
upper bushing, lower tool bit bushing, retainer pins, thrust bushing or auto lube system and replaces these
components to avoid further downtime.
In this example, the components identified as worn or damaged cannot be claimed to Caterpillar, because
they did not have a defect and are worn as a result of operation. They were repaired or replaced as a
result of the customer responsibilities for assuring all recommended operational methods are used and
preventative maintenance is performed per schedules.
Customer’s Responsibilities
The customer is responsible for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the
specified service intervals as described in the OMM.

Component Exclusions and Limitations


The components listed below, and resultant damage due to failure of these components, are excluded from Work
Tool EPP coverage. Note that this list is an all-encompassing exclusion list across all Work Tool products and
applies only when present on a particular Work Tool (not all listed components are applicable to all Work Tools).
• Adapters and/or Adapter Groups
• Belts, Belt Tensioner Plates, Belt Drives and/or Hardware
• Blades, and/or Knives
• Bolts, Bolt Studs, Washers, and/or Nuts
• Bristles
• Chain Saw Bars, and/or Chains
• Chassis, Brackets, and/or Frames
• Films
• Gaskets, Gasket Groups & Kits, Seals & Kits, Sealant, Seal Oil, and/or O-Rings
• Grease Fittings

Equipment Protection Plan Global

Machine

Used Equipment Protection Plan –


Individual

Overview
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of the Equipment Protection Plan (EPP) available for Cat®
used machines sold by Cat dealers.
There are several EPP qualifying machine status classifications;
 Rental Fleet – A Cat machine that is currently in the dealer’s inventory and is available for rent.
 Coverage Continuation – A Cat machine that is 60 days or less from the end of an active EPP (new or
used) OR that had an EPP that has not been expired by age or hours more 30 days.
 For Australia, Coverage Continuation is managed by Willis, with Cat Financial Insurance Services
underwriting and administering policies. Coverage Continuation in Australia includes stand-alone
EPP sales (independent of a machine sale/purchase) and does not require an existing active policy.
 Trade in/Other – A Cat machine in dealer inventory that was acquired through trade in or other
purchase. A Cat machine that does not meet the definitions of any other classification.
 Rental Rollout (Americas North Only) – A Cat machine that is currently being sold out of the dealer’s
rental fleet, has an active EPP, the current coverage will be left in place and another EPP coverage will be
added and start when the current coverage expires and reaches its age or hour limit.
EPP coverage options available for used machines;
 Powertrain (PWT) - See Bulletin 8.01.
 Powertrain + Hydraulics (P+H) - See Bulletin 8.01 and 8.02.
Coverage terms range from 3 to 60 months with hour options from 250 to 10,000 hours, depending on model
age and current service meter units (SMU).
EPP enrollments must be completed within 30 days of the EPP coverage start date.
EPP covers parts and labor repair costs on eligible machine failures for covered powertrain and/or hydraulic
components, depending upon the EPP coverage type. EPP coverage applies only to failures caused by
defects in materials and workmanship. The intent of EPP coverage is not to restore the product to a like-new
condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating condition just prior to the covered failure.

SERVICE

Equipment Protection Plan Global

Machines

Cat® Certified Rebuild (CCR)


➤ Overview
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of the Equipment Protection Plans (EPP) available for
CCR machines sold by Cat® dealers.
(A CCR involves the complete disassembly of the machine and all individual components. All paint is removed
and all parts that do not meet minimal standards are either replaced or reconditioned. Upon reassembly, the
entire machine is repainted. See bulletin 4.04 for more information on the Cat Certified Rebuild Program.)
Most models under the following Cat Certified Rebuild programs ARE eligible for EPP:
 Cat Certified Rebuild (CCR) for full and complete machine rebuilds.
 Cat Certified Powertrain (CPT) for powertrain only or powertrain and complete hydraulic system rebuilds.
 Cat Certified Machine Component Rebuild (CMCR) for machine engine only or for the combined
transmission and torque converter component rebuilds.
The following Cat Certified Rebuild programs ARE NOT eligible for EPP:
 Cat Certified Engine Rebuild (CER) for engine only rebuilds.
 Cat Certified Hydraulics Rebuild (CHR) for complete hydraulic systems only rebuilds.
This bulletin applies to CCR’s only.
There are two EPP coverage types available for CCR machines;
 Powertrain (PWT)
 Powertrain and Hydraulics (P+H)
Coverage terms range from 12 to 60 months with 3,000 to 10,000 hours, depending on model.
EPP covers qualifying parts and labor repair costs on eligible machines for covered powertrain and/or
hydraulic components, depending on the EPP coverage type. EPP coverage applies only to failures caused
by defects in materials and workmanship and starts at the machine delivery date as stated on the Certified
Rebuild Delivery Notice. (The Certified Rebuild Delivery and Enrollment Notices for all models eligible for the
Cat Certified Rebuild programs can be found on the Cat Certified Rebuild web page at:
https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/repair-options/certified-rebuild.html.
The intent of EPP coverage is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the
product to its operating condition just prior to the covered failure.

➤ Machine Eligibility
Caterpillar determines machine eligibility through publication of a Rebuild Manual for each specific model and
serial number prefix, except in Brazil where only domestically manufactured machines are eligible for the EPP
Rebuild programs. Prior to starting a Certified Rebuild on a Cat machine, the dealer must submit a Certified
Rebuild Enrollment Request form to Caterpillar. This request form and the Rebuild Manuals are made available
on the Certified Rebuild webpage at: https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/repair-options/certified-rebuild.html. Only
machines eligible for the Caterpillar Certified Rebuild programs are listed by product family, model and serial
number prefix on this site. Contact your Caterpillar Certified Rebuild representative to request the addition of a
non-listed machine or manual.
Following the submission of the Certified Rebuild Enrollment Request form and the completion of the rebuild
itself, Caterpillar requires the dealer to complete and submit a Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice when the rebuilt
machine is delivered to the end-user customer. The Delivery Notice is used to notify Caterpillar that the machine
has been delivered to the customer and also indicates that EPP was included/sold as part of the rebuild. It
does not initiate or to complete the EPP enrollment. The dealer is responsible to initiate and complete the EPP
enrollment.
Note: Machines eligible for EPP coverage (see https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/esc-epp/machine-worktool/used/
cert-rebuild.html) must also be eligible for the CCR or CPT rebuild programs. (see https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/
repair-options/certified-rebuild.html).
Only machines originally manufactured in Brazil are eligible for rebuild EPP in Brazil if they are also
eligible for the CCR or CPT rebuild programs.
Note: The date of delivery specified by the dealer on the Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice is used as the
coverage start date for both the Parts Warranty and EPP.
Note: The coverage start hour for EPP is the service meter unit (SMU) reading at the date of delivery. This
should match the hours shown on the Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice. (Usually “1” for a CCR.)
Dealer’s Responsibilities
 Confirm that the machine has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. (The
coverage start date is the delivery date as shown on the Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice.) If a
failure exists, the machine must be repaired prior to registering it for EPP.

➤ Indicates change. 2 08.52-03 (01/18)


Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.52

 Confirm that the machine has been rebuilt according to the specific published Cat Rebuild Manual
requirements.
• Requirements may include but are not limited to:
• Parts that must always be replaced.
• Procedures and quality checks that must be performed.
• Product engineering updates that must be incorporated.
 Repair machines using the most economical method, and install only genuine Cat parts (including
remanufactured parts).
 Keep on file all parts invoices of new and Reman Cat parts that were installed during the rebuild.
 Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP if broader coverage was offered to the
customer.
 Register each machine for EPP and pay applicable fees.
 If the rebuilding dealer is not the EPP registering dealer, please contact your Cat Financial
Insurance Services representative before initiating the rebuild itself.
Note for Repair Claim:
• If the Part causing the failure is a Reused Part:
• Indicate the type of rebuild (CCR) and state that the Part causing the failure was a Reused
Part in the Claim Story and enter Group Number 772R.
Covered Components under EPP
Covered components are the same as those covered under Powertrain (Bulletin 8.01) and/or Hydraulics
(Bulletin 8.02) depending upon coverage type. For a summary of Service Management Control System
(SMCS) codes and major component categories, refer to the appropriate bulletin(s). Parts and components
replaced under the terms of the Cat Parts warranty or under EPP are covered for the remainder of the current
EPP coverage period. Coverage for all parts and labor ceases when the specified time or hour limit is reached,
regardless of when the part was repaired or replaced.
Components commonly mistaken as powertrain, which are not covered include: undercarriage, external hoses
and lines (except hydrostatic), the engine radiator, and engine attachments (alternator, starter, air compressor,
air conditioner compressor). Radiators are reconditioned or replaced during the rebuild process, but are not
covered under EPP.

not due to defects in material or workmanship.

Dealer Reimbursement under EPP


During the applicable Parts Warranty period, Parts Warranty will reimburse the dealer for approved failure claim
parts costs caused by a defect in material or workmanship of a new or Reman part that was replaced during
the rebuild. (See Bulletins 4.01 and 4.04.) Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as
is, unless the customer authorizes the additional cost at the customer’s expense. Repair costs caused by a
Reused Part are the responsibility of the dealer but may be covered under an EPP program where applicable
and available.
Associated labor costs of failure claims are also the responsibility of the dealer but also may be covered under
an EPP program where applicable and available.
Parts - All parts needed to correct a defect of a covered Cat part, including gaskets, seals, salvage materials,
and any resultantly damaged Cat parts are reimbursable.
Replacement parts or components may either be new, Reman, or a Cat approved repaired, at Caterpillar’s
choice. When there is a Cat Reman part offered that is at standard dimensions, dealers must always use the
Reman part.

4 08.52-03 (01/18)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.52

Parts reimbursement includes only those Cat parts needed to restore the product to its operating condition
just prior to the covered failure. It does not include reimbursement for parts to restore the product to a like-new
condition.
Parts Service Charges - Cat Parts Distribution service charges for parts obtained on an emergency order are
reimbursable.
Service Items - Lubricants, filters, antifreeze, and other service items made unusable due to contamination by
the failure are reimbursable. Service items not affected by the failure, which are replaced in the normal course
of the repair, are not covered.
Repair Labor - Includes labor to inspect, test, diagnose, remove, disassemble, clean, assemble, and install.
Parts Salvage Labor - Parts salvage labor is reimbursable, if the Cat part can be satisfactorily repaired for a
cost that does not exceed 50% of the D/N price for a new or Reman part. Salvage labor includes only the time
to perform salvage operations such as machining, cutting, burning, trimming, bending, heating, welding, etc. It
does not include the labor to disassemble and assemble the part or component associated with performing the
salvage operation. Such labor is the responsibility of the dealer.
Salvage labor reimbursement is at the registered dealer sell rate. Materials such as steel that are used to
perform the salvage operation are reimbursable at the dealer’s acquisition cost.
Overtime Labor Rate - Labor that is performed after normal working hours will be reimbursed at the
registered dealer sell rate.
Outside Repair Expenses - Outside repair expenses are reimbursable, if the expense is justified and
reasonable. Such expenses are reimbursed at the dealer’s actual cost. These expenses are for parts and/
or labor from an outside vendor. Examples of labor expenses for sublet repairs include, machining, cylinder
head milling, or radiator repair. It is the dealer’s responsibility to ensure that invoice charges for outside repair
expenses are reasonable in order to assure full reimbursement.
Shop Supplies - Shop supplies are not reimbursable as an itemized parts expense line or parts summary
(NLOW) expense line. Allowance for shop supplies has been included in the dealer’s labor rate. Examples
of shop supplies includes, shop towels, welding rod, wire ties, gasket maker, sealants, solvents, adhesives,
primers, paint, assembly lubricants, anti-seize compounds, buffing discs & pads, emery cloth, etc.
Hauling Costs - Costs associated with transporting or hauling a machine for repair are not reimbursable.
Freight Charges - Inbound surface or airfreight charges from the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center
to the dealership are not reimbursable as dealers are expected to stock parts needed to repair equipment in
their territory.

airfreight from the source Distribution Center to the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center is reimbursable.
This portion of the airfreight is on the Cat parts invoice.
The cost of freighting parts from another branch or dealership is not claimable or reimbursed.
Note: Reimbursement practices for airfreight charges may differ for dealers that are covered by an Emergency
Freight Plan.
Note: Dealer must provide the Caterpillar invoice number or DBS customer backorder reference number

Equipment Protection Plan Global

Machines

Cat® Certified Powertrain (CPT)


➤Overview
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of the Equipment Protection Plans (EPP) available for CPT
rebuild machines sold by Cat® dealers.
(A CPT Rebuild involves the complete disassembly of the machine powertrain and all individual components. All parts that do
not meet minimal standards are either replaced or reconditioned. See Bulletin 4.04 for more information on the Cat Certified
Rebuild Program.)
Most models under the following Cat Certified Rebuild programs ARE eligible for EPP:
 Cat Certified Rebuild (CCR) for full and complete machine rebuilds.
 Cat Certified Powertrain (CPT) for powertrain only or powertrain and complete hydraulic system rebuilds.
 Cat Certified Machine Component Rebuild (CMCR) for machine engine only or for the combined
transmission and torque converter component rebuilds.
The following Cat Certified Rebuild programs ARE NOT eligible for EPP:
 Cat Certified Engine Rebuild (CER) for engine only rebuilds.
 Cat Certified Hydraulics Rebuild (CHR) for complete hydraulic systems only rebuilds.
This bulletin applies to CPT’s only.
There are two EPP coverage types available for CPT machines;
 Powertrain (PWT)
 Powertrain and Hydraulics (P+H)
Coverage terms range from 12 to 60 months with 3,000 to 10,000 hours, depending on model.
EPP covers qualifying parts and labor repair costs on eligible machines for covered powertrain and/or hydraulic
components, depending on the EPP coverage type. EPP coverage applies only to failures caused by
defects in materials and workmanship and starts at the machine delivery date as stated on the Certified
Rebuild Delivery Notice. (The Certified Rebuild Delivery and Enrollment Notices for all models eligible for the
Cat Certified Rebuild programs can be found on the Cat Certified Rebuild web page at https://dealer.cat.
com/en/ps/repair-options/certified-rebuild.html.)
The intent of EPP coverage is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the
product to its operating condition just prior to the covered failure.
Please refer to the Global Warranty (https://warranty.cat.com) website for appropriate Bulletins containing
details on programs and/or coverages.

➤Machine Eligibility
Caterpillar determines machine eligibility through publication of a Rebuild Manual for each specific model and
serial number prefix, except in Brazil where only domestically manufactured machines are eligible for the EPP
Rebuild programs. Prior to starting a Certified Rebuild on a Cat machine, the dealer must submit a Certified
Rebuild Enrollment Request form to Caterpillar. This request form and the Rebuild Manuals are made available on
the Certified Rebuild webpage at: https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/repair-options/certified-rebuild.html. Only machines
eligible for the Cat Certified Rebuild programs are listed by product family, model and serial number prefix on this
site. Contact your Cat Certified Rebuild representative to request the addition of a non-listed machine or manual.
Following the submission of the Certified Rebuild Enrollment Request form and the completion of the rebuild
itself, Caterpillar requires the dealer to complete and submit a Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice when the
rebuilt machine is delivered to the end-user customer. The Delivery Notice is used to notify Caterpillar that
the machine has been delivered to the customer and also indicates that EPP was included/sold as part of the
rebuild. It does not initiate or complete the EPP enrollment. The dealer is responsible to initiate and to complete
the EPP enrollment.
Note: Machines eligible for EPP coverage (see https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/esc-epp/machine-worktool/
used/cert-rebuild.html) must also be eligible for the CCR or CPT rebuild programs. (see https://dealer.cat.
com/en/ps/repair-options/certified-rebuild.html.) Only machines originally manufactured in Brazil are
eligible for rebuild EPP in Brazil if they are also eligible for the CCR or CPT rebuild programs.
Note: The date of delivery specified by the dealer on the Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice is used as
the coverage start date for both the Parts Warranty and EPP.
Note: The coverage start hour for EPP is the service meter unit (SMU) reading at the date of delivery.
This should match the hours shown on the Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice.
➤Dealer’s Responsibilities
 Confirm that the machine has not experienced a failure prior to the EPP coverage start date. (The
coverage start date is the delivery date as shown on the Certified Rebuild Delivery Notice.) If a
failure exists, the machine must be repaired prior to registering it for an EPP.
 Confirm that the machine has been rebuilt according to the specific published Cat Rebuild Manual
requirements.
Requirements may include but are not limited to:

➤ Indicates change. 2 08.53-04 (01/18)


Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.53

• Parts that must always be replaced.


• Procedures and quality checks that must be performed.
• Product engineering updates that must be incorporated.
 Repair machines using the most economical method, and install only genuine Cat parts (including
remanufactured parts).
 Keep on file all parts invoices of new and Reman Cat parts that were installed during the rebuild.
 Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP if broader coverage was offered to the customer.
 Register each machine for EPP and pay applicable fees.
 If the rebuilding dealer is not the EPP registering dealer, please contact your Cat Financial
Insurance Services representative before initiating the rebuild itself.
Note for Repair Claim:
 If the Part causing the failure is a Reused Part:
 Indicate the type of rebuild (CPT) and state that the Part causing the failure was a Reused Part
in the Claim Story and enter Group Number 772R.

Covered Components under EPP


Covered components are the same as those covered under Powertrain (Bulletin 8.01) and/or Hydraulics
(Bulletin 8.02) depending upon coverage type. For a summary of Service Management Control System
(SMCS) codes and major component categories, refer to the appropriate bulletin(s). Parts and components
replaced under the terms of the Cat Parts warranty or under EPP are covered for the remainder of the current
EPP coverage period. Coverage for all parts and labor ceases when the specified time or hour limit is reached,
regardless of when the part was repaired or replaced.
Components commonly mistaken as powertrain, which are not covered include: undercarriage, external hoses
and lines (except hydrostatic), the engine radiator, and engine attachments (alternator, starter, air compressor,
air conditioner compressor). Radiators are reconditioned or replaced during the rebuild process, but are not
covered under EPP.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.53

Parts reimbursement includes only those Cat parts needed to restore the product to its operating condition just prior to
the covered failure. It does not include reimbursement for parts to restore the product to a like-new condition.
Parts Service Charges - Cat Parts Distribution service charges for parts obtained on an emergency order are
reimbursable.
Service Items - Lubricants, filters, antifreeze, and other service items made unusable due to contamination by
the failure are reimbursable. Service items not affected by the failure, which are replaced in the normal course
of the repair, are not covered.
Repair Labor - Includes labor to inspect, test, diagnose, remove, disassemble, clean, assemble, and install.
Parts Salvage Labor - Parts salvage labor is reimbursable, if the Cat part can be satisfactorily repaired for a
cost that does not exceed 50% of the D/N price for a new or Reman part. Salvage labor includes only the time
to perform salvage operations such as machining, cutting, burning, trimming, bending, heating, welding, etc.
Labor to disassemble and assemble the part or component associated with performing the salvage operation
is the responsibility of the dealer.
Salvage labor reimbursement is at the registered dealer sell rate. Materials such as steel that are used to
perform the salvage operation are reimbursable at the dealer’s acquisition cost.
Overtime Labor Rate – Overtime labor rate is not reimbursable. Labor that is performed after normal working
hours will be reimbursed at the registered dealer sell rate.
Outside Repair Expenses - Outside repair expenses are reimbursable, if the expense is justified and
reasonable. Such expenses are reimbursed at the dealer’s actual cost. These expenses are for parts and/

Equipment Protection Plan Global

Machines

Cat® Certified Machine Component Rebuild


(CMCR)
Overview
The CMCR Equipment Protection Plan (EPP) program covers designated components in eligible machines for
parts and labor reimbursement when failures are caused by defects in material or workmanship. The program
reimburses for labor beginning at the first date of service and reimburses for parts after the new parts warranty
ends. The parts warranty for the Cat® Certified Machine Component Rebuild (CMCR) program covers Cat®
remanufactured components and Cat new components, as per Caterpillar warranty bulletin 4.01. Five component
coverage options are eligible for the CMCR program: engines only, torque converters and transmissions
combined, final drive only, differential only, and a complete drive axle. Because some torque converters and
transmissions share an oil supply, both must be rebuilt or replaced, and enrolled, at the same time. If the engine
is also rebuilt or replaced at the same time as the transmission and torque converter, a separate enrollment for
each is required. Only components going into machines that are eligible for the Cat Certified Rebuild program by
model and serial number are eligible for CMCR EPP*. For a list of eligible models, please visit: https://dealer.cat.
com/en/ps/repair-options/certified-rebuild.html.
*Brazil Specific: This program is available only for machines that were originally manufactured in Brazil
(domestic) and are eligible for the Cat Certified Rebuild program by model and serial number. (If a machine has
at any time been imported, it is not eligible for this program.
Other Certified Rebuild Programs:
• For Cat Certified Machine Rebuild (CCR), please refer to bulletins 8.52
• For Cat Certified Powertrain Rebuild (CPT), please refer to bulletins 8.53

➤Certified Machine Component Rebuild (CMCR)


Dealers must be authorized under the terms of an agreement with Caterpillar in order to perform a CMCR. The
rebuild process includes specific Caterpillar requirements such as:
• Parts that must always be replaced.
• Procedures, quality checks, and other work that must be performed.
• Product engineering updates that must be incorporated in the rebuild.
• Ensuring all open Product Improvement Plans (PIP) are completed and reported against the original
serial number during the certified rebuild process.
• Dealer completion of all component removal and installation.

• Enrollment into the dealer’s scheduled oil sampling program for the duration of the CMCR EPP
coverage period. (This is recommended, not required.)
It also involves a complete disassembly of the component(s), removal of all paint and replacement or
reconditioning of parts that do not meet minimal standards. Upon reassembly, the entire component is repainted
and new decals affixed.

Caterpillar Machine Component Rebuild Enrollment Request


Prior to commencing a CMCR, the authorized dealer submits an enrollment request form to Caterpillar. The
enrollment form can be found at: https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/repair-options/certified-rebuild.html. This is a Cat
Certified Rebuild form. It is not and does not initiate an EPP enrollment.

Caterpillar Machine Component Rebuild Delivery Notice


Upon completion of the rebuild, Caterpillar requires the dealer to submit a Delivery Notice at the time the
component has been installed and the machine delivered to a customer. Separately, the dealer is responsible
for the CMCR EPP enrollment. The date of delivery, specified by the dealer on the Delivery Notice, is used as
the coverage start date for both the standard parts warranty and the EPP. The Parts Information System (PIS)
delivery date remains as the original delivery date. The Delivery Notice form can be found at
https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/repair-options/certified-rebuild.html.

EPP Coverage Options


Several coverage terms are available under the applicable portion of the Powertrain and Powertrain+Hydraulics
coverage definitions. Please visit: https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/esc-epp/machine-worktool/used/cert-rebuild.html.

➤ Indicates change. 2 08.54-06 (01/18)


Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.54

The intent of a repair is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product to its
operating condition just prior to the covered failure. The repair or replacement of the failed part or component and
any associated resultant damaged parts are reimbursable on allowed claims. Other parts removed in the process
of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless the customer authorizes the additional cost at the customer’s expense.

➤Dealer Reimbursement During the New Parts Standard Warranty Period


Cat Remanufactured or Cat New Parts Installed in the Cat CMCR
The new parts standard warranty will reimburse the dealer for defects in material and workmanship for Cat
remanufactured or Cat new parts installed in the CMCR during the warranty period. Please refer to Bulletin 4.01.
• Americas North / Americas South / EAME - CMCR Equipment Protection Plan will reimburse labor
at the dealer’s registered selling labor rate for repairs associated with the replacement of covered parts.
• Asia Pacific - CMCR Equipment Protection Plan will reimburse labor at the dealer’s warranty cost
rate for replacement of covered parts. (Effective January 1, 2013 CMCR Equipment Protection
Plan will reimburse labor at the dealer’s registered selling labor rate for repairs associated with the
replacement of covered parts.)
Re-used Parts Installed During Rebuild:
• Americas North / EAME* - During the new parts standard warranty period (Bulletin 4.01), the
dealer will not be reimbursed for parts to make the repairs or labor associated with the repairs if a
re-used part causes a failure.
*EAME Improved EPP coverage is not available under this CMCR program.
• Americas South / Asia Pacific - During the new parts standard warranty period (Bulletin 4.01), the
dealer will be reimbursed for re-used parts at Dealer Net (D/N). Applicable labor will be reimbursed
under EPP at the dealer’s registered selling labor rate to make repairs if a re-used part causes failure.
If the Part causing the failure is a Reused Part:
 Indicate the type of rebuild (CMCR) and state that the Part causing the failure was a Reused
Part in the Claim Story and enter Group Number 772R.

Parts Book Component Codes


At the bottom of each page on all Cat® Parts Books (paper or electronic), is printed a four-digit numeric Service
Management Control System (SMCS) component code. These SMCS codes are used to describe the area of
primary use for the parts and/or components listed on that page and can be used as a mechanism for helping to
determine if a failed part may be considered part of the CMCR. On the following pages are the SMCS codes in
numeric order that are covered under the CMCR EPP program. For CMCR qualification, the component code
listed on the parts book page should be compared to this list of acceptable components codes.

NOTE: Sometimes a parts book page with an acceptable component code will include parts that are not covered
and parts that are broken out on another parts book page (i.e. brakes). When in doubt, submit inquiries through
the Warranty Service Desk.

Use of Parts Book Component Code on Labor Expense Lines


Caterpillar simplified some of the SMCS component codes by phasing out some and combining others. As a
result, some component codes listed on the following pages indicate in their code description to use another
component code as a substitute code. For example: 1299 Hydraulic Timing Advance (use 1272)

These references, which indicate use of a substitute code, apply only when using the component code on a labor
expense line if labor reimbursement is applicable. In some cases, a component code, which indicates use of a
substitute code, may have been canceled. Using a canceled component code on a labor expense line will cause
the entire service claim to be canceled. To avoid this, dealers should use the substitute component code listed in
parentheses for claiming labor reimbursement in the expenses detail section of the claim.

NOTE: Refer to Bulletins 1.06 and 1.09 for proper group number and labor line SMCS code usage.

EQUIPMENT PROTECTION PROGRAM Global

Machines

THIS PROGRAM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS OF JANUARY 1, 2017

Precious Metals Machine Engine


Rebuild Kit Equipment Protection Plan
Overview
This Equipment Protection Plan covers Precious Metals Engine Rebuild Kits for Cat® machines. The program
provides parts coverage for all kits, and part and labor coverage for kits installed by an authorized Cat dealer.
There are four levels of kits eligible for coverage:
• Bronze
• Silver
• Gold
• Platinum
The kits may either be installed by a certified Cat dealer or sold by a certified Cat dealer. Only kits installed on
Cat machines with Cat serial numbers are eligible. Prior to January 1, 2016, some contracts were underwritten
with “Customer List” as the defined reimbursement rate rather than Dealer Net + 33%. For those contracts,
claims will continue to be honored at Customer List through the duration of their specified term. Additional
information about Machine Engine Precious Metals Kits can be found at:
https://dealer.cat.com/en/ps/parts/parts-mktg/engine/c/industry/precious-metals.html.

Kits Installed by a Certified Cat Dealer


The program reimburses for labor starting on the last date of labor of the work order. After any applicable
warranties, the program reimburses both parts and labor. The program applies to the parts included in the
Precious Metals Kits, new crankshaft bearings, and new crankshaft thrust plates installed during the engine
rebuild. Resultant damaged parts are reimbursable. For complete details regarding reimbursement, please see
the Summary of Reimbursement Practices table on page 4.

Kits Not Installed by a Certified Cat Dealer


After any applicable warranties, the program reimburses for parts only, starting on the date the kit was purchased
from the Cat dealer. The program applies to the parts included in the Precious Metals Kits, new crankshaft
bearings, and new crankshaft thrust plates installed during the engine rebuild. Resultant damaged parts that
were not included in the Precious Metals Kit are not reimbursable. Repair labor is not reimbursable. For complete
details regarding reimbursement, please see the Summary of Reimbursement Practices table on page 5.

The customer is responsible for assuring all recommended preventative maintenance is performed at the
specified service intervals as described in the O&M Manuals. Preventative maintenance includes, but is not
limited to, the servicing, adjusting and/or replacing of specified components.
Precious Metals Machine Engine Rebuild Kit Equipment Protection Plan does not cover failure of any components
as a result of not performing scheduled maintenance. The dealer may be required to provide proof of compliance
with the maintenance schedules, at the time of a failure. Proof may include receipts or copies of work orders or
invoices showing the performed maintenance services.

S.O.SSM Fluid Analysis Test Results


S•O•S is not a requirement of the Equipment Protection Plan program, however it is recommended that at
the point of enrollment, S•O•S sampling begin at the first recommended interval and continue throughout the
remainder of the Equipment Protection Plan coverage term.
Wear-out and Extent of Coverage
Wear-out and/or deterioration are not covered by Precious Metals Machine Engine Rebuild Kit Equipment
Protection Plan. The intent is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product
to its operating condition just prior to the covered failure. Precious Metals Machine Engine Rebuild Kit Equipment
Protection Plan covers only the repair or replacement of the failed component and any resultant-damaged
parts. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless the customer authorized the
additional cost for their account.
Example: While performing a Precious Metals Machine Engine Rebuild Kit Equipment Protection Plan program
repair or a piston ring failure, the dealer service technician notices the vee belts and coolant hoses are worn and
deteriorated. He also notices some wear (within acceptable limits) on the cylinder head valve guides. In addition
to the piston ring failure, the service technician replaces the vee belts and coolant hoses, and reconditions the
valve guides to avoid future downtime.
In this example the vee belts, coolant hoses and valve guide reconditioning cannot be claimed to Caterpillar
because they did not have a defect nor were they damaged as a result of the piston ring failure. They were
repaired or replaced as a result of the customer responsibilities for assuring all recommended preventative
maintenance is performed.
NOTE: If the piston ring failed due to abuse (running without changing oil at the proper interval), the ring failure
and resultant-damage would not be due to a Caterpillar defect and therefore not a covered failure.
Coverage for Parts Replaced Under the Plan
Parts replaced under the terms of the Precious Metals Machine Engine Rebuild Kit Equipment Protection Plan are
covered by the plan for the remainder of the plan’s coverage period. The coverage on such parts ceases when

08.55-02 (01/17) 3
Bulletin No. 8.55 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

the program’s Equipment Protection Plan coverage period expires, regardless of when the parts were replaced.

Claiming Practices for PIP / PSP on Machines Covered by the Precious


Metals Machine Engine Rebuild Kit Equipment Protection Plan
Product Improvement Programs (PIPs) and Product Support Programs (PSPs), except PS6 - - - - and PS9 - - - -
containment programs, performed on machines covered by this program must be claimed under the appropriate

amount of Caterpillar participation. Service letters that apply to certified rebuild machines will always list the new
certified rebuild serial number for all applicable certified rebuild machines. There is no participation under
Extended Coverage except as otherwise stated in Exclusions and Limitations.

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and normal deterioration are not covered. Such occurrences are not due to defects in the material or
workmanship.
The intent is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure.
The repair or replacement of the failed part or component and any associated resultant damaged parts are
covered. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless the customer authorizes
the additional cost at the customer’s expense.

Dealer Reimbursement
Parts - All parts needed to correct the defect, including gaskets, seals, salvage materials, and any resultant
damaged Caterpillar parts are reimbursable.

2 08.93-00 (08/15)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.93

Replacement parts or components may be either new, remanufactured, or Caterpillar approved repaired, at
Caterpillar’s choice. When there is a Caterpillar remanufactured part offered that is at standard dimensions,
dealers must always use the remanufactured part. For warranty parts order of a remanufactured part that is not
in stock, the dealer will be shipped the equivalent new part and invoiced at the remanufactured price, plus the
standard core charge. This practice is not applicable for major components (e.g. engines, transmissions).
Parts reimbursement includes only those Caterpillar parts needed to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure. It does not include reimbursement for parts to restore the product to a
like-new condition.
Parts Service Charges - Caterpillar Parts Distribution service charges for parts obtained on an emergency
order are reimbursable. The service charge is a percentage of the dealer net (D/N) price of the part, as per the
following:
• 0 % for slow moving parts;
• 5 % for medium moving parts;
• 8 % for fast moving parts.
Service Items - Lubricants, filters, antifreeze, and other service items made unusable due to contamination by
the failure are reimbursable. Service items not affected by the failure, which are replaced in the normal course of
the repair are not covered.
Repair Labor - Includes labor to inspect, test, diagnose, remove, disassemble, clean, assemble, and install.
Parts Salvage Labor - Parts salvage labor is reimbursable, if the Caterpillar part can be satisfactorily repaired
for a cost that does not exceed 50% of the dealer net (D/N) price for a new or remanufactured part. Salvage
labor includes only the time to perform salvage operations such as machining, cutting, burning, trimming,
bending, heating, welding, etc. It does not include the labor to disassemble and assemble the part or component
associated with performing the salvage operation. Such labor is the responsibility of the dealer.
Labor reimbursement is at the dealer’s warranty cost rate. Materials such as steel that are used to perform the
salvage operation are reimbursable at the dealer’s acquisition cost.
Overtime Labor Rate - Labor that is performed after normal working hours will not be reimbursed at the
dealer’s premium overtime labor rate.
Outside Repair Expenses - Outside repair expenses are reimbursable, if the expense is justified and
reasonable. Such expenses are reimbursed at the dealer’s actual cost. These expenses are for parts and/
or labor from an outside vendor. Examples of labor expenses for sublet repairs include, machining, cylinder
head milling, or radiator repair. It is the dealer’s responsibility to ensure that invoice charges for outside repair
expenses are reasonable, to insure full Caterpillar reimbursement.
Shop Supplies - Shop supplies are not reimbursable as an itemized parts expense line or parts summary
(NLOW) expense line. Allowance for shop supplies has been included in the dealer’s labor rate. Examples
of shop supplies includes, shop towels, welding rod, wire ties, gasket maker, sealants, solvents, adhesives,
primers, paint, assembly lubricants, anti-seize compounds, buffing discs & pads, emory cloth, etc.
Hauling Costs - Costs associated with transporting or hauling a machine for repairs, are not reimbursable from
Caterpillar.
Freight Charges - Inbound surface or airfreight charges from the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center to
the dealership are not reimbursable as dealers are expected to stock parts needed to repair equipment in their
territory.
However, if the parts are not available in the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center, the emergency
airfreight from the source Distribution Center to the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center is reimbursable.
This portion of the airfreight is on the Caterpillar parts invoice.
The cost of freighting parts from another branch or dealership is not claimable.
Note: Reimbursement practices for airfreight charge may differ for dealers that are covered by Emergency
Freight Plan.

name and address.

Product Improvement and Product Support Programs


All PIP’s and PSP’s announced after the Certified machine rebuild will be supported by Caterpillar, to the extent
of the announcing service letter. For PSP’s having prorated Caterpillar participation based on machine age or
service hours, the certified rebuild delivery date and/or service hours since rebuild are used for determining the
amount of Caterpillar participation. Service letters that apply to certified rebuild machines will always list the new
certified rebuild serial number for all applicable certified rebuild machines. There is no participation under EPP
except as otherwise stated in Exclusions and Limitations.

Wear-out and Extent of Coverage


Wear-out and normal deterioration are not covered. Such occurrences are not due to defects in the material
or workmanship.
The intent is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure.
The repair or replacement of the failed part or component and any associated resultant damaged parts are
covered.
Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled as is, unless the customer authorizes the
additional cost at the customer’s expense.
Dealer Reimbursement
Parts - All parts needed to correct the defect, including gaskets, seals, salvage materials, and any resultant
damaged Caterpillar parts are reimbursable.
Replacement parts or components may be either new, remanufactured, or Caterpillar approved repaired, at
Caterpillar’s choice. When there is a Caterpillar remanufactured part offered that is at standard dimensions,
dealers must always use the remanufactured part. For an emergency Class 1 parts order (warranty with
machine down) of a remanufactured part that is not-in-stock, the dealer will be shipped the equivalent new part
and invoiced at the remanufactured price, plus the standard core charge. This practice is not applicable for
major components (e.g. engines, transmissions).
Parts reimbursement includes only those Caterpillar parts needed to restore the product to its operating condition just
prior to the covered failure. It does not include reimbursement for parts to restore the product to a like-new condition.

2 08.95-00 (08/15)
Caterpillar: Confidential Green Bulletin No. 8.95

Parts Service Charges - Caterpillar Parts Distribution service charges for parts obtained on an emergency
order are reimbursable. The service charge is a percentage of the dealer net (D/N) price of the part, as per the
following:
• 0 % for slow moving parts;
• 5 % for medium moving parts;
• 8 % for fast moving parts.
Service Items - Lubricants, filters, antifreeze, and other service items made unusable due to contamination by
the failure are reimbursable. Service items not affected by the failure, which are replaced in the normal course of
the repair are not covered.
Repair Labor - Includes labor to inspect, test, diagnose, remove, disassemble, clean, assemble, and install.
Parts Salvage Labor - Parts salvage labor is reimbursable, if the Caterpillar part can be satisfactorily repaired
for a cost that does not exceed 50% of the dealer net (D/N) price for a new or remanufactured part. Salvage
labor includes only the time to perform salvage operations such as machining, cutting, burning, trimming,
bending, heating, welding, etc. It does not include the labor to disassemble and assemble the part or component
associated with performing the salvage operation. Such labor is the responsibility of the dealer.
Labor reimbursement is at the dealer’s labor selling rate. Materials such as steel that are used to perform the
salvage operation are reimbursable at the dealer’s acquisition cost.
Overtime Labor Rate - Labor that is performed after normal working hours will not be reimbursed at the
dealer’s premium overtime labor rate.
Outside Repair Expenses - Outside repair expenses are reimbursable, if the expense is justified and
reasonable.
Such expenses are reimbursed at the dealer’s actual cost. These expenses are for parts and/or labor from an
outside vendor. Examples of labor expenses for sublet repairs include, machining, cylinder head milling, or
radiator repair. It is the dealer’s responsibility to ensure that invoice charges for outside repair expenses are
reasonable, to insure full Caterpillar reimbursement.
Shop Supplies - Shop supplies are not reimbursable as an itemized parts expense line or parts summary
(NLOW) expense line. Allowance for shop supplies has been included in the dealer’s labor rate. Examples
of shop supplies includes, shop towels, welding rod, wire ties, gasket maker, sealants, solvents, adhesives,
primers, paint, assembly lubricants, anti-seize compounds, buffing discs & pads, emory cloth, etc.
Hauling Costs - Costs associated with transporting or hauling a machine for repairs, are not reimbursable from
Caterpillar.
Freight Charges - Inbound surface or airfreight charges from the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center to
the dealership are not reimbursable as dealers are expected to stock parts needed to repair equipment in their
territory.
However, if the parts are not available in the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center, the emergency
airfreight from the source Distribution Center to the dealer’s assigned Parts Distribution Center is reimbursable.
This portion of the airfreight is on the Caterpillar parts invoice.
The cost of freighting parts from another branch or dealership is not claimable.
Note: Reimbursement practices for airfreight charge may differ for dealers that are covered by Emergency
Freight Plan.
Note: Dealer must provide Caterpillar invoice number or DBS customer backorder reference number (backorder

Bulletin No. 8.95 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Dealer’s Responsibilities
• Confirm that the machine has not experienced a failure prior to the time the machine is registered. If a
failure exists, the machine must be repaired prior to registering it for coverage.
• Confirm that the machine has been rebuilt according to the specific Caterpillar requirements, such as
• Parts that must always be replaced, and
• Procedures and quality checks which must be performed and
• Product engineering updates which must be incorporated
• Repair machine using the most economical method, and install only genuine Caterpillar parts (including
remanufactured parts).
• Keep on file all parts invoices of new and remanufactured Caterpillar parts that were installed during the
rebuild for possible verification.
• Pay for any loss in excess of what is covered by EPP1, if broader coverage was offered to the customer.
• Register each machine for coverage, and pay fees using the Caterpillar Service Claims System.
• A Service letter, including PSP’s and PIP/s, which has been issued for a component or failure that
normally would be covered. The exception to this is where the reimbursement for parts and labor under
the service letter is proportionately reduced over time. For example the reimbursement is for 100%
up to 1,000 hours and 50% from 1,000 hours, etc. If the failure would normally be covered by EPP for
CCR, then EPP for CCR would reimburse the difference under an additional claim. EPP for CCR would
reimburse the difference of a separate claim under the appropriate group number (7751 PIP or 7755
PSP), if the failure was normally covered by EPP for CCR.

Enrollment Procedure for EPP


General Guidelines
Enrollment for EPP is the Dealer’s responsibility. The intent to register for EPP must be indicated on the
Customer Delivery Notice form (see LACD Claim Submission Procedures for CCR). Delivery Notice does not
constitute enrollment for EPP.
The enrollment must be submitted within 60 days of the delivery date for the dealer to receive reimbursement for
covered repair labor costs back to the delivery date (see “repair date field”).
Enrollment after the 60-day period is permitted up to one year after the delivery date but covered repair labor
cost reimbursement becomes effective at the enrollment date and not the delivery date.
Machines are enrolled in EPP by entering the details into the Caterpillar Service Claims System. Certain fields
will require specific values, which alert the system that this is a registration. The customer’s name and address
should be updated (if necessary) in the customer information network.
Completing and Filing the Registration
• The Caterpillar Service Claims System is used to process the registration. Anyone not familiar with the
procedures for filing a claim might consult the dealership’s service department for help. We recommend
that the people who presently file service claims also file the EPP1 registrations.
• All rules that pertain to the submission of the service claim also apply to registrations.
• The normal procedure is to submit a service claim to Caterpillar, which will also be used to submit a
registration.
• If you are a “DBS” (Dealer Business System) Dealer or Dealer who uses the claim class concept for
claim preparation, you should establish a special claim class for registrations. The DBS help desk or their

08.95-00 (08/15) 5
Bulletin No. 8.95 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

website for FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) should be consulted when first starting.
• If you are not a Caterpillar DBS Dealer, or do not have access to the Caterpillar Service Claims System,
we request that you use the Corporate Claims System (Claimsi) to enroll in EPP.

Claimsi
You will find a link to Claimsi on CatAmericasNet following the path:
Product Support >>> Warranty >>> Related Links >>> Claimsi
Click the category “claim entry” in the horizontal menu at the top of the page to open the claim entry fields. Enter
the registration data in the required fields.
Some key points to remember are:
• Use a dealer claim number with a prefix of “CUE$” for new machines
• Submit the enrollment claim with SMCS code “7944” as the group number
• Use the date you are requesting the enrollment as the repair date
When you have completed data entry you may click either:
• “Save Draft”. A benefit of Claimsi is that you can save the entry in Claimsi as a draft for each coverage,
and then create a claim for each serial number, or
• “Submit Claim” when you are ready to submit for enrollment. LACD warranty & data receives your
submitted claim, and uploads it as a machine registration to the Caterpillar Service Claims System.
Pages 7 and 8 show sample Claimsi screens for a CCR enrollment in EPP:

procedures for filing a claim might consult the dealership’s service department for help. We recommend
that the people who presently file service claims also file the EPP1 registrations.
• All rules that pertain to the submission of the service claim also apply to registrations.
• The normal procedure is to submit a service claim to Caterpillar, which will also be used to submit a
registration.
• If you are a “DBS” (Dealer Business System) Dealer or Dealer who uses the claim class concept for
claim preparation, you should establish a special claim class for registrations. The DBS help desk or
theirwebsite for FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) should be consulted when first starting.
• If you are not a Caterpillar DBS Dealer, or do not have access to the Caterpillar Service Claims System,
we request that you use the Corporate Claims System (Claimsi) to enroll in EPP.

Claimsi
You will find a link to Claimsi on CatAmericasNet following the path:
Product Support >>> Warranty >>> Related Links >>> Claimsi
Click the category “claim entry” in the horizontal menu at the top of the page to open the claim entry fields. Enter
the registration data in the required fields.
Some key points to remember are:
• Use a dealer claim number with a prefix of “CUE$” for new machines
• Submit the enrollment claim with SMCS code “7944” as the group number
• Use the date you are requesting the enrollment as the repair date
When you have completed data entry you may click either:
• “Save Draft”. A benefit of Claimsi is that you can save the entry in Claimsi as a draft for each coverage,
and then create a claim for each serial number, or
• “Submit Claim” when you are ready to submit for enrollment. LACD warranty & data receives your
submitted claim, and uploads it as a machine registration to the Caterpillar Service Claims System.
Following are sample Claimsi screens for a CCR enrollment in EPP:

Certified Rebuild Machine and
Certified Powertrain Extended Coverage
This bulletin is discontinued. Effective July 1, 2014, refer to Bulletins 8.52 and 8.53.

Overview
Parts for Certified Rebuild Machine (CCR) and Certified Powertrain (CPT) are covered by parts warranty for the
first six months. Extended coverage is available for labor and extended parts coverage effective on the rebuilt
product with delivery dates after 5/1/03.
The Cat Financial Insurance Services’ website has CCR and/or CPT program details including premium tables
and enrollment instructions. The URL for this site is: https://dealer.cat.com/EPPCREP.

Machine Rebuild Programs (CCR and CPT)


NACD provides dealer eligibility to perform Cat Certified Rebuilds.
The URL for this site is https://dealer.cat.com/CCR.
For dealers to perform Cat Certified Rebuilds, they must be authorized under the terms of an agreement with
Caterpillar. The rebuild process includes specific Caterpillar requirements such as:
 Parts that must always be replaced, and
 Procedures and quality checks which must be performed, and
 Product engineering updates which must be incorporated.
 Ensure all open PIPs are completed and reported against the original serial number during the certified
rebuild process.
It involves a complete disassembly of the machine or powertrain and all individual components. All paint is
removed. Parts that do not meet minimal standards are either replaced or reconditioned. Upon reassembly, the
entire machine or powertrain is repainted including installation of all new decal’s and/or serial number plates.
Once the rebuild is complete, go into the original serial number record on SIMSi and delete the customer name
& address and replace it with the following text:
“Caterpillar Certified Rebuild to serial number XXXxxxxx.”
This provides a permanent reference to the new serial number and leaves the declaring dealer to the correct
dealership. The PIP reports will also show this new text as the customer name and refer to the correct serial
number in the DBS pop files.

certified rebuild machine or powertrain enrollment request. This can be found on the NACD website at
URL https://dealer.cat.com/CCR - then click Certified Rebuild Enrollment Request.

Machine Delivery Notice


Upon receipt of the Enrollment Request, Caterpillar requires the dealer to submit a Delivery Notice form at the
time the machine or powertrain has been rebuilt and delivered to a customer. The Delivery Notice is used
to notify Caterpillar, that the machine has been delivered to a customer. It also indicates if the machine or
powertrain was sold with extended coverage, and if so, which coverage option. The dealer is responsible for
enrollment through the MER (Machine Enrollment Registration) process. The date of delivery specified by
the dealer on the Delivery Notice is used as the coverage start date for the standard warranty period and the
extended coverage period. The PIS delivery date remains as the original delivery date.

Extended Coverage Options

➤ Covered Components
The covered components are the same as those covered under Powertrain - Extended Coverage. For a
summary of the major component categories covered, and a complete listing of powertrain components, refer to
Warranty Bulletin 8.01.
Components commonly mistaken as powertrain, which are not covered include: undercarriage, external
hoses and lines (except hydrostatic), the engine radiator, and engine attachments (alternator, starter, air
compressor, air conditioner compressor).
Note: Radiators are reconditioned/replaced during the rebuild process, but are not covered under this coverage.

Validating Coverage
Dealers can verify Extended Coverage CCR and CPT Rebuild enrollment in Caterpillar’s online computer
system using the Dealer Service System (SIMSi), just like any other coverage. The coverage / customer
information screens will show the new delivery date for the Extended Coverage CCR and CPT, the coverage
details including extended coverage, and the customer name and address.

Resold or Transferred Machines


Contact Caterpillar Certified Rebuild Products with questions about machines that will be resold or moved
outside the selling dealer’s territory during the coverage period.

Product Improvement and Product Support Programs


All PIPs and PSPs announced after the CCR or CPT rebuild will be supported by Caterpillar, to the extent of the
announcing Service Letter. For PSPs having prorated Caterpillar participation based on machine age or service
hours, the CCR or CPT delivery date and/or service hours since rebuild are used for determining the amount of
Caterpillar Participation.

Wearout and Extent of Repair


Wearout and normal deterioration are not covered. Such occurrences are not due to defects in the material or
workmanship.
The intent is not to restore the product to a like-new condition, but rather to restore the product to its operating
condition just prior to the covered failure. The repair or replacement of the failed part or component and any
associated resultant damaged parts are covered. Other parts removed in the process of repair will be reinstalled
as is, unless the customer authorizes the additional cost at the customer’s expense.

parts and labor.
Parts - All parts needed to correct the defect, including gaskets, seals, salvage materials, and any resultant
damaged Cat parts are dealer reimbursable at the customer list (C/L) price in effect on the date of repair.
The replacement parts or components may be either new, remanufactured, or Caterpillar approved repaired, at
Caterpillar’s choice. When there is a Caterpillar remanufactured part offered that is at standard dimensions, dealers
must always use the remanufactured part. For an emergency Class 1 parts order (warranty with machine down)
of a remanufactured part that is not-in-stock, the dealer will be shipped the equivalent new part and invoiced at the
remanufactured price, plus the standard core charge. This parts department practice is not applicable for major
components (i.e. engines, transmissions).
Parts reimbursement includes only those Cat parts needed to restore the product to its operating condition just prior
to the covered failure. It does not include reimbursement for parts to restore the product to a like-new condition.
