NON-OEM PARTS IN CRITICAL SYSTEMS
C.3-0000051235
For safety reasons, Komatsu America Corp. strongly recommends against the use of non-OEM replacement
parts in critical systems of all Komatsu equipment. Critical systems include but are not limited to steering, braking
and operator safety systems
Replacement parts manufactured and supplied by unauthorized sources may not be designed, manufactured
or assembled to Komatsu's design specifications; accordingly, use of such parts may compromise the safe
operation of Komatsu products and place the operator and others in danger should the part fail.
Komatsu is also aware of repair companies that will rework or modify an OEM part for reuse in critical systems.
Komatsu does not generally authorize such repairs or modifications for the same reasons as noted above.
Use of non-OEM parts places full responsibility for the safe performance of the Komatsu product on the supplier
and user. Komatsu will not in any case accept responsibility for the failure or performance of non-OEM parts in
its products, including any damages or personal injury resulting from such use.
