Service bulletin 18-025-15
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
Flash: Powertrain Diagnostic And System Enhancements This bulletin involves reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with the latest available software. A small number of customers may experience a slight, audible, spark knock at times. This typically occurs in stop and go traffic during light tip-in acceleration with the AC off. No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will set as a result of this condition.
