PROBLEM
The initial production run of 20R-1282 injectors (less than 250 pieces) built before August 15, 2012 contains the wrong nozzle tip part number due to a print releasing error. 20R-1282 injectors built before August 15, 2012 (serial #1240557) should be removed from the engine, as the injection spray plume may direct onto the cylinder wall. Long term use may result in piston ring or liner wear.
