| Issue: | It has been identified during the installation of Neptune Rovers, there is a potential for the Rover's Diverter Valve Assembly to not actuate during docking, preventing the cleaning cycle from occurring and inhibiting prefill water from being supplied to the Neptune Fresh Water System. The Diverter Valve's material combined with the heat-treating process has the potential to cause diverter valve corrosion when the Rover is allowed to sit for a period of greater than 40 days. Only Neptune 2 Rovers out of use for greater than 40 days have the potential of exhibiting the failure. Neptune 2 Rovers that have been used within the past 40 days are not likely to experience any issue. |
