# Service bulletin SC\-15\-003

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.

## NHTSA's summary

Certain vehicles with CVT\-8 transmissions may exhibit a shudder condition at low speeds \(10 – 40 mph\), or a surge/flare of engine rpm at higher speeds. This may be caused by a malfunctioning of the CVT’s hydraulic pressure control software. In the worst case scenario, with continued driving under these conditions, the CVT belt may become damaged and cause a warning light to turn on. Your local Mitsubishi dealer will reprogram the transmission control module \(TCM\). This repair will take from 0.3 to 0.6 hours to complete. In extreme cases, the transmission may need to be replaced. This repair will take approximately 6.8 to 8.2 hours. However, the dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time due to scheduling. Every effort will be made to minimize your inconvenience. Product improvements will be completed free of charge.
