What was found

DIPSTICK BECAME SEPARATED FROM CAP ALLOWING THE DIPSTICK AND SPRING TO DROP INTO DIPSTICK TUBE. THERE ARE FOUR TUBES BUILT INTO THE CAP AND 3 OF THE 4 WERE BROKEN. THE NEW PART NUMBERED DIPSTICK IS MANUFACTURED TO ALLEVIATE THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN BY NOT HAVING THESE SMALL TABS HOLDING THE DIPSTICK TO THE CAP.
