If I'm not mistaken, I think the Firecats that had aluminum/silver steering adjusting block caps were the ones that needed replacement.....

Would people who's sled fall into the VIN range of the bulletin please respond to confirm this? Thanks.

ryan001,
That is correct. The sleds that had 'black' colored ones on them from the factory seem to be ok, and as VFRcanada stated, the replacement ones are black in color.
