MODEL 215, 220 with CODE 487 (Active Body Control (ABC))
For retrofitted Thermo Top C air heater
All self-locking bolts that are removed when lowering the rear axle, must be replaced with new self-locking bolts.
The thread for the front and rear rear-axle suspension bolts on the frame floor assembly must be recut.
The front and rear rear-axle suspension bolts are to be tightened to the corresponding tightening torques and then checked.
A phased in production change means that new self-locking bolts with a modified tightening torque will be installed.
New bolt identifying feature:
- Larger size (E18 instead of E14)
- Larger washer diameter (the shim is therefore no longer required)
