A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

This could lead to potential 12V battery drain after prolonged period of time. • When the battery temperature is below -30°C (-22°F) and above 50°C (122°F), the thermal system does not function. • When a Level 1 EVSE is plugged in, the displayed charge time estimation for Level 2 is over estimated. The following improvements/enhancements are also included in this software release: • Improved shift strategy involving shift lever position.
