    I remember a while ago a story was posted on probably several 4WD forums about a transfer case in an Iveco Daily under warranty failing about midway along the Canning Stock Route. Apparently a message about it got out via satphone on a Thursday evening. Iveco Care in Perth quickly decided that towing or carting the disabled vehicle out was not practicable. They pulled transfer case out of a new one and sent it by fast freight to Mt Newman. Two local mechanics made what I recall was a 9.5 hour trip , removed "blown up" case and installed new one. Vehicle apparently driveable again on Sunday morning.


    Maybe someone could comment about whether the problem was as described above. Also link to somewhere story is still posted. In the meantime, probably Iveco has gained the odd extra new vehicle sale with this demonstration of quickly fixing a major warranty problem. Meanwhile, with what this one cost them, most likely modified parts to fix the problem should have become a high priority. Then installing them before more failures occur would most likely save the company repair costs and lowering reputation of its product for reliability.

    Hi mox, at least 20 Iveco Daily transfer case have blown, that I know about, Factor in the people who are not on social media / internet forums etc, or the people unwilling to announce to the world their pride & joy let them down, Say double that figure.

    The story you refer to on the CSR was published in Ivecos own trade journal like a feather in their cap for good service. And yes it was the exact circlip that failed.

    I have the story on my webpage, with permission from the bloke that wrote it.

    Iveco Australia, just don't give a **** !! Im probably going to be the bunny doing this Mod, Iveco are not interested, Ive got a line of owners that want it done at the risk of voiding their warranty. Thats Irony !!

    Nice mod goingbish
    I presume you chose a retaining option over machining a deeper wider groove because of clip availability?

    Yes Steve as Blknight suggested, more appropriate groove & better circlip selection would be ideal but the length of 'knee' on my mill did not allow a full rotation of Transfer case when mounted on the rotary table.

    I had planned on making a full collar with ears to bolt down over the thrust plate, with or without circlip , but this simple 'circlip lock' seemed a more elegant solution.

    The Transfer case rear cover can be removed from Case whilst still mounted in truck, Only the rear prop and TC mount crossmember need to be undone, so it could be a straightforward mod .

    Iveco Aust mgmnt have told me it takes a Full 5 Years before any engineering changes are implemented into a production line, & that sounds about right . All MY2009 have an un-necessary RLPV in the rear ABS circuit . Logic defies its purpose, I removed mine early on & most people have theirs drilled out with the valve body still there to look original for 'insurance purposes' , It was deleted from production on the MY2014 model. )
