Service bulletin SGI16-13

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

"DESCRIPTION A POTENTIAL ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF VEHICLES LISTED IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE WHERE EARLY LIFE FAILURES HAVE BEEN DETECTED ON THE POST CATALYST HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS DUE TO CRACKS IN THE SENSING ELEMENT OF THE POST CATALYST HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) ASSEMBLY. THIS RESULTS IN A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL SIGNAL FROM THE POST CATALYST HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS NOTICE DOES NOT APPLY TO VEHICLES ALREADY REGISTERED AND IN USE, EITHER WITH THE RETAILER OR THE CUSTOMER. ANY VEHICLE ALREADY IN USE MAY CONTINUE TO BE DRIVEN AND ANY REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS DEEMED NECESSARY WILL BE COMMUNICATED THROUGH A SEPARATE TECHNICAL BULLETIN OR FIELD ACTION."
