# Service bulletin DLR MSG \- RFP \-

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.

- [B23040A](/bulletins/10237044.md), 2023-05-31, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Service News \- The navigation clock and date are incorrect. This is due to a limited GPS receiver capacity resulting in rollover of internal chip memory. The rollover occurred on January 1, 2022 at 12:00AM local time
- [B21120A](/bulletins/10207004.md), 2022-02-04, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ServiceNews Article \- The clock shows the incorrect time. This issue is due to a limited GPS receiver capacity resulting in "rollover" of the internal chip memory; the "rollover" will occur on January 1, 2022, at 12:00AM local time. As a result, the navigation date and time will be incorrect.

Servicenews article \- Is the MIL on with DTC P2271 \(secondary HO2S \[sensor 2\] circuit signal stuck rich\)? What's likely causing this is the PCM is misinterpreting the A/F sensor \(sensor 1\) signals, causing the PCM to think that sensor 2 is stuck rich.
- [BTS180603](/bulletins/10142451.md), 2018-07-02, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\).
