# Service bulletin 340113

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.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10149303
- Published by NHTSA: 2018\-11\-26
- Manufacturer's number: 340113
- Manufacturer's date: 2013\-01\-01
- NHTSA component: SERVICE BRAKES

## NHTSA's summary

MErroneous "Service due" Message Though Brake Lining Thickness Sufficient. The CBS data calculated for the remaining distance of the front and/or rear brake pads does not agree with the actual brake pad thickness. The yellow brake lining service due indicator illuminates even though the pad thickness is greater than the minimum wear limit \(approximately 3.7 mm\); the brake wear sensor has not yet been activated \(from a thickness of approx. 4.2 mm\). In some cases, the red warning message may already be active. The CBS front/rear brake display is based on a mathematical calculation. Various influences are incorporated into this calculation \(for example, vehicle speed, brake pressure, and rotor temperature\). Due to changing driving characteristics and/or unfavorable environmental conditions, the calculated remaining distance may differ from actual pad thickness.

Visible cracks are caused by high thermal stresses during rapid heating and cooling of the brake discs. Braking from high speed with cold brake components \(less than 212 degrees F\) increases the likelihood of cracks to form.
- [B340517](/bulletins/10178996.md), 2020-08-31, Service bulletin: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC; WHEELS. TICKING NOISE WHILE CORNERING WITHOUT THE BRAKES APPLIED: Ticking noise coming from front wheel while cornering without brakes applied, noticeable at low speeds. The vehicle must be moving.

EPS STEERING ELECTRIC MOTOR MOUNTING BOLTS \- LTD WTY EXT TO 10 YRS/120000 MILES: There are front end noises when turning the steering wheel and/or there is limited power steering assist when maneuvering or parking the vehicle. For the basic steering gears one possible cause is that the mounting bolts for the electric motor may become loose missing and/or broken due to corrosion.

TAILGATE UNINTENTIONALLY OPENS: This Service Information Bulletin \(Revision 4\) replaces SI B51 30 16 dated March 2018. Trunk/tailgate may open when vehicle is locked Trunk/tailgate may open while the vehicle is in motion usually after stopping such as a traffic light etc. Vehicle key trunk/tailgate button may be accidentally pressed thus opening the tailgate.
- [B340517](/bulletins/10174009.md), 2020-04-20, Service bulletin: BACK OVER PREVENTION; SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC; WHEELS; POWER TRAIN. TICKING NOISE WHILE CORNERING WITHOUT THE BRAKES APPLIED: This Service Information Bulletin \(Revision 3\) replaces SI B34 05 17 dated September 2017. Ticking noise coming from front wheel while cornering without brakes applied noticeable at low speeds. The vehicle must be moving. See attached video V34 01 20 Note: For a similar noise heard when parking with the brakes applied refer to SIB 31 01 12.

- [B340415](/bulletins/10151410.md), 2018-12-10, Service bulletin: SERVICE BRAKES. After Cold Start, Brake Booster Reservoir Vacuum Reduced. With an outside temperature below 14ºF, brake booster vacuum may be reduced after a cold start. The non\-return valve in the vacuum line to the brake booster may stick at temperatures below 14ºF. Sufficient vacuum supply is available again at the brake booster only after the vehicle is driven \(approximately 1/4 mile\).

- [340313](/bulletins/10150167.md), 2018-12-03, Service bulletin: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC. Incorrect Remaining Service Life from CBS Data for Brake pads. The calculated remaining service life for the brake pads \(front and/or rear axle\) from the CBS data does not match the actual brake pad thickness. The customer notices implausible remaining distances \(too high or too low\) on the front and/or the rear axle brake system. Note: E9x vehicles with xDrive are not affected by this bulletin.
