Service bulletin 16-100-16
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.

| 169013 | 2023-05-08. Service bulletin. Design Change to Lock-Up Type Torque Converter |
|---|---|
| 168011R | 2023-05-08. Service bulletin. Inspection Procedure for AT Oil Temperature Warning Lamp Flashing |
| 169114 | 2023-04-24. Service bulletin. Correction to Diagnostics for 5AT-Related DTCs |
| 169013R | 2023-04-24. Service bulletin. Design Change to Lock-Up Type Torque Converter |
| 16-103-16R | 2019-03-11. Service bulletin. This bulletin has been developed in response to a small number of customer concerns regarding fluid seepage found coming from the CVT assembly. Investigation has identified a likely source of the seepage to be the sealant used on the CVT?s oil pump chain cover. The repair involves removal, a thorough cleaning and inspection of the sealing surfaces followed by re-sealing the cover. |
| 16-90-13R | 2018-06-11. Service bulletin. CVT Transmissions only. This bulletin announces the availability of a countermeasure torque converter assembly to address a customer concern of very low engine RPM when coming to a stop. The condition is similar to coming to a stop in a manual transmission equipped vehicle without depressing the clutch pedal. Thrust washer wear inside the torque converter can cause restriction of the oil passage used to bleed off lock-up clutch application pressure. The result is either a delayed (momentary low engine rpm) or no lock-up pressure release. The thrust washer has been changed from a solid bushing-type to a needle bearing type. |

| 16-102-16 | 2017-08-14. Service bulletin. TSB: All Models Equipped with CVT Transmissions. This Service Information bulletin provides a new flow chart and additional diagnostic tools to assist Technicians with troubleshooting DTC P0841- SECONDARY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR PERFORMANCE. |
| 16-103-16R | 2017-08-14. Service bulletin. This bulletin has been developed in response to a small number of customer concerns regarding fluid seepage found coming from the CVT assembly.

| 16-95-15R | 2017-08-14. Service bulletin. Only models with CVT Transmission. This bulletin provides a diagnostic procedure for confirmation of a suspected CVT chain slip condition. Examples of customer concerns may be: abnormal transmission operating sounds, a shudder or vibration sensation, lack of power, hesitation, engine rpm rise without increase in vehicle speed or in isolated cases, a Check Engine Lamp illumination (with engine misfire DTCs stored in the ECM memory). |
