# Service bulletin R29

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

Engine Oil Consumption The engine on about 900 of the above vehicles may experience unintended oil consumption under rare conditions during high\-speed right\-hand cornering when the engine is at light throttle and high RPM, engine oil can be forced into the Make Up Air hose. This condition may compromise engine durability. All vehicles must have the engine oil and oil filter changed and an updated oil management system must be installed which includes a new valve cover assembly with a relocated make up air \(MUA\) fitting and new baffle.
