Narrative:
Incorrect task card signed for right&right of nosewheel assembly. While performing daily inspection on aircraft X at approximately XA00 on apr/thu/07; the mechanic found the #2 nose tire cut beyond limits. While he proceeded with the daily check; the lead mechanic prepared and delivered the nosewheel tire assembly removal/installation card. The mechanic removed and replaced the #2 nosewheel in accordance with provided task card and signed for work performed on the job card and log page. The next day ZZZ was notified that the incorrect task card had been used to change the nosewheel. A task card for a dash-8 200 nosewheel had been used instead of a dash-8 400 job card. Aircraft X returned to ZZZ and the #2 nosewheel was removed and replaced in accordance with correct task card. Due to job cards no longer have aircraft type in heading/title. Initiated crew briefings regarding task card situation. Initiated job card change request to have aircraft type replaced in header/title of company job cards.
