MAN Diesel & Turbo has issued two product safety warning letters regarding identification of faulty parts and instructions on replacement.

Service Letter SL2016-614/PRP

With reference to a few incidents reported, one of the TSP accumulators installed has suffered from breakage, and parts of the accumulator body were ejected into the engine room causing damage to the engine. Accordingly, such breakage poses a serious potential threat to property and persons and may potentially even result in bodily injuries and/or fatal casualties.

A root cause analysis by TSP of one of the failed components has identified the cause to the thread design in the accumulator made by the maker TSP.

Based on the information provided by TSP, we therefore strongly recommend to inspect the accumulators installed on your engines at the very first opportunity possible in order to verify whether and to what extent your engines have accumulators installed that are made by TSP.
