Dear Sirs
With reference to a few incidents reported, one of the TSP accu-
mulators installed has suffered from breakage, and parts of the ac-
cumulator 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
identied 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 rst opportunity possible in order to verify whether and
to what extent your engines have accumulators installed that are
made by TSP.
Please ensure that such an inspection is only done when the engine
is in the Finished with Engine-mode, and the hydraulic system is
without pressure, see also the instruction on page 2.
Yours faithfully
