flat rate manual or the Government's actual cost, WHICHEVER IS LESS.

If you disagree or if a dispute arises, prepare and forward a DA Form 2407 to the address

For each item obtained from AM General, follow the action stated in Section IV, Para-

f . In making your own repairs, you may be required to return the defective part(s) to AM

General per their instructions. If so, drain the defective part(s), if applicable, and tag with DA Form

2402, in accordance with TM 38-750. Clean, wrap and securely package the part(s) to prevent further

damage. This is important since AM General will examine the returned part(s) to determine if there

is a warranted defect. Return the part(s) with a duplicate copy of the prepared DA Form 2407 to:

Warranty Administration

AM General Corporation

408 Eckman Street, Dock 8-5

South Bend, IN 46680

AM General will bear the transportation cost of shipping the defective part(s) from the U. S. Port of

embarkation. All shipments will be via surface freight. It is equally important that the defective part(s)

be adequately protected while awaiting disposition instructions. For example, do not leave an engine

in the open, exposed to weather. Inadequate protection can jeopardize the Government's warranty

claim. Placing an engine on boards and covering it with canvas could provide simple but needed pro-

tection so that AM General can readily inspect it to validate the claim. Do not dispose of the defective

part(s) unless specifically instructed to do so by AM General or TACOM. DO NOT RETURN THE

DEFECTIVE PART(S) TO AM GENERAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY

AM GENERAL.

Vehicle transportation cost to and from Warranty Repair Facility will be borne by the user.
