Please see the below disposition on the Angel Hair problem we found in the 6R17 awhile ago.
I understand and agree that with the steps Semperit is taking to eliminate Angel Hair that this is most likely an isolated incident.
However when we find in a lot it puts us in a tough position.
* Brushing the whole lot out would take months and is practically impossible to estimate the cost.
* Missing a piece and getting a rejection from an OEM, could result in replacement of an order or all hoses cut out of this lot.
We have cautioned tagged all hose from this lot and will have the operators carefully watch for it.
At this time we can only hope we or our customers find no more evidence, but if we do find anything in this lot we will have to return it.
