Service bulletin Update Bulletin

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.

As a result, a copper sulphide layer may form on the conductor tracks of the gearbox control unit and cause electrical faults. This Update is in effect until removed. Procedure is valid only for vehicles that show the 37H5 code in the Elsa Campaign/Action Information screen on the day of repair. Vehicle must be within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
