CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
a.
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army material is a continuing concern. It is important that any
corrosion problems with this 4KRTFL be detected and reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements
can be made to prevent the problem in future vehicles or equipment.
b.
While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of other materials,
such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these materials may be a corrosion
problem.
c.
If a corrosion problem is identified it can be reported using Standard Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency
Report. Use of key words such as "corrosion", "rust", "deterioration", or "cracking" will ensure that the information is
identified as a CPC problem. The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA Pam 738-750.
