Service bulletin A961596 2040471-

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

When the driver is parking the vehicle, the continuous parking aid warning tone begins too soon. The continuous warning tone begins when the vehicle is approximately two feet away from an object, although it should not begin until the vehicle is one foot away from an object. Incorrect software parameters in the vehicle electrical system control module, J519 (address word 09), cause the condition. Only A6 S line and S6 vehicles with front and rear parking aid (PR 7X2) are affected.
