We have published Service Bulletin SB-00058, which supersedes and replaces SB-00041. Owners who already have executed or are planning to execute SB-00041 should instead refer to and follow the instructions in SB-00058. The timeframe for compliance with SB-00058 is at or before the next condition inspection.
This bulletin describes steps to replace the RV-12iS HIC module on RV-12iS aircraft with avionics kits shipped prior to August 2022. A kit is available to RV-12iS customers, which contains the parts needed to replace the HIC module. This action is considered safety-related since the problem described involves potential interruption of fuel pump electrical power in the HIC module connector. As a safety item, this kit is being sold at-Van's-cost to customers who own RV-12iS aircraft. Parts are in stock as of the date of publication for approximately 200 aircraft.
Note: In the event your existing aircraft wiring harness is not long enough to allow installation of the new connector and attachment to the new HIC module, you can order the WH-00146-1 wire harness extension, which will alleviate the short wire problem. Owners are to assess the need for this in the SB-00058 document’s steps.
An email will be sent directly to affected customers registered in our database, as well.
