Service bulletin SMT-Com01-03May2

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.

The additional length is to allow the repositioning of the clutch actuation lever to eliminate any possibility of clutch drag.
