Service bulletin M010613

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

60-Day Bundling of Maintenance Services for Motorer Satisfaction. The vehicle's Condition Based Service (CBS) system uses several factors/thresholds to determine when a vehicle's service is due. This can create a situation where a vehicle has to return soon after a recent workshop visit because an engine oil service or vehicle check shows "Due." To help minimize return visits to your workshop and increase customer satisfaction, all maintenance services can now be bundled if they are within the following parameters: z Engine Oil Service: 60 days or 2,001 miles z Vehicle Check: 60 days or 2,001 miles z Brake fluid: 16 weeks z Brake Pads (Front and Rear, with disc replacements when necessary): 2,500 miles z Spark Plugs: Combined with engine oil z Intake Silencer: Combined with engine oil If one or more services can be bundled according to the information above, please perform the service operation, Note the information on the repair order and claim comments when submitting the claim for payment. This bulletin provides a procedure to help minimize these situations by providing you with a "time-based service window" calculation, enabling you perform these services on eligible vehicles. Engine Oil and Vehicle Check Service Tasks The vehicle's Condition Based Service system uses the following factors/thresholds to calculate service tasks' intervals and the corresponding countdown period: z Time (Date: mm.yyyy), and/or z Mileage (fuel consumption) When the vehicle does not accumulate enough mileage, the CBS time-based interval (factor/threshold) takes over. The time-based interval's "mm.yyyy" is a "hard" date; these services will only display "Due" once this date threshold is reached or surpassed. This is unlike the mileage-based interval, which has a 2,001 mile "service window" built in at the end when these services can be performed.
