Interim Model Year Design Change - NQF/NQG/NQH Front Case Half Assembly, Input Shaft, Planetary Carrier High/Low Clutch
Interim 2012 model year for Magna transfer case RPOs NQF / NQG / NQH, a second-design front case half assembly (1), planetary internal gear (2), gear retaining ring (3), locking plate (4), thrust washer (5), input shaft (6), pilot bearing (7), thrust washer (8), high/low planetary carrier (9), and high/low clutch (10) were implemented into second-design assemblies.
The second-design carrier (9) has a reduced OD dimension and the planetary internal gear (2) has a reduced ID dimension. The planetary internal gear (2) is a press-fit non-serviceable component and must be serviced with the front case half assembly. In service it is possible that a new or remanufactured transfer case may contain first or second-design content. For service, the first-design 2007-2012 Magna NQF, NQG, and NQH components will remain available individually to perform a repair on a first-design assembly.
If a second-design transfer case has been installed into a vehicle that originally contained a first-design assembly, TCCM reprogramming is not required.
