Read page 2 of SB-912-067 - SB-914-048.
Your dealer is only partly right. If your floats fall within the parameters listed on page 2 of the SB they get replaced whether they are bad right this minute or not. Tell them to read page two also. It is all floats within a certain time period and or serial number because there would be no way to tell if or when a float from this casting series would go bad.
