I should explain myself:
The stator SB was initially issued Dec 1999 and the Austrian Airworthiness Directive was issued soon after (Austrian AD-98)
The issue was the two red stator wires were run together in a single insulating sheath. The wires could rub together or be affected by strong solvents and make contact, shorting out and completely disabling the ignition.The engine would stop immediately.
The fix was a huge stator recall that replaced all affected stators for free. The new stators had the red wires run in separate sheaths.
The yellow generator wires were not changed and were never considered part of the AD or SB. It is besides the point but if the yellow wires do get shorted out the battery will not be charged, but the engine will not stop.
You can identify the old, affected stators by gently parting the shielding around the red wires and look at the color of the sheath: if it is dull red color you have an affected stator and it must be replaced (sorry, no more free replacements)
If the sheaths are black you have a new style stator.
