Just got home and have a message from my local dealer bout a recall for my 3520. I searched the forum but haven't found anything. Anyone have any clues?

I assume the recall is for the rockshaft control valve gasket replacement. That is the only current program I am aware of.

I wasn't aware of any recall! Anyone tell me what the rockshaft control valve gasket replacement consist of? I mean how much down time? Are they tearing into it? Or is this an easy fix? I know its a recall just wondering what they are going to do to her!
Thanks

What happens when the gasket goes bad? What year is your machine? I have a 2012 3520 and I haven't got a recall notice

Details please. Because the entire 3x20 series likely uses that same gasket.

I've got a 2009. But as stated I would imagine the gasket was used for a couple of years.

But I've been known to be wrong before.

Oh. I would have thought something like a gasket would be a TSB and not a recall. a recall would cost millions and involve all 3000 twenty machines even ones out of warranty. usually recalls are for safety issues. Well with vehicles anyway. Don't qoute me on this because I don't know for sure

There was a crack in my rear final drive, 2011 3520. It was due to faulty installation of the backhoe sub frame. There was an abnormally long delay (2 weeks) for the gaskets to come in. I wonder if that delay was related to a recall related supply issue?
