# Service bulletin A16060H

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 id: 10084330
- Published by NHTSA: 2016\-11\-16

## NHTSA's summary

SERVICE NEWS ARTICLE \- WHILE DRIVING UNDER STEADY CRUISE \(BETWEEN 30 AND 65 MPH\) OR LIGHT ACCELERATION, DOES THE ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY RATTLE OR RUNS ROUGH WITH THE MIL BLINKING? SINCE THESE DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO ACTIVATE VCM OPERATION, THE PROBABLE REASON FOR THESE SYMPTOMS IS STICKING VCM ROCKER ARMS.

## The document

No address for NHTSA's copy can be built for this communication. Ask the dealer for it by the manufacturer's number.
