- [A18\-072](/bulletins/10166783.md), 2019-10-29, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Service Bulletin \- When cold\-starting the engine and shifting to Reverse, the engine stalls in the first 10 to 14 seconds. There is too much oil clearance between the input and stator shafts, which allows ATF to drain out of the torque converter during extend off periods. During a cold start, when the torque converter is refilled, air gets trapped in the torque converter. This applies the lock up clutch, which stalls the engine.
