Section D – Campaign Completion Stamp
Item#: AUD4927ENG
-OR-
Item # AUD4927FRE
• Once the campaign has been completed, the technician should stamp the repair order.
• Stamps are available for ordering through the Compliance Label Ordering Portal.
• Proceed to Section E.
Section E – Parts Return/Disposal
Properly store (retain), destroy or dispose of removed parts in accordance with all state/province and local requirements, unless otherwise indicated and/or requested through the Warranty Parts Portal (WPP) for U.S. and the Part Destruction and Core Disposition Report for Canada.
Appendix A – Warning and Safety Precautions
WARNING
• Brake fluid is poisonous, and must never be siphoned by mouth under any circumstances.
• Wash off any brake fluid that comes into contact with the skin with a lot of water.
• If it contacts the eyes, wash out the eye and see a doctor.
• Brake fluid must never come into contact with fluids containing mineral oils (oil, gas, cleaning solutions). Mineral oil damages the plugs and rubber grommets in the brake system.
• Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and must therefore be stored in air-tight containers.
• When bleeding, brake fluid that has been flushed through must not be reused and must be disposed of properly.
• Observe waste disposal regulations!
• Due to its corrosive effect, brake fluid cannot come in contact with paint or painted parts.
