Service bulletin B160318

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.

SERVICE ACTION. REPLACE THE FUEL TANK PRESSURETEMPERATURE SENSOR. The internal sealing of the fuel tank pressure-temperature sensor may fail. As a result, the sensor may read an incorrect value and set a fault code for the fuel tank evaporation system. This may lead to the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) being illuminated.
