Subject notification was released by Van's on June 30th, 2014. At or before the next annual condition inspection, it requires inspecting the VA-213 Oil Supply Hose and VA-125 Oil Return Hose for signs of chaffing, then re-routing the oil return hose.
Per steps 3 and 4, I was unable to just disconnect the VA-215 Oil Return Hose from the oil tank and re-route it. I had to also disconnect it from the bottom of the engine, then pull it all the way out from the bottom. After inspection I inserted the 90 deg. fitting from the top between the WD-1220 Engine Mount and the WD-1221 Engine Mount Standoff, then routed the hose back down to the bottom of the engine and reconnected it.
Still lots of stuff crammed into small spaces, but the new routing is much better.
