Service bulletin 160312
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
Natural Vacuum Leak Diagnosis (NVLD). INFORMATION TEST MODULE OPERATING HINTS FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE NVLD SYSTEM Evaporative system leakage is found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan: If a fault is identified when using the NVLD leakage test plan, the following points should be verified. 1. Check that the fuel cap is properly closed. 2. Testing the evaporative system requires all venting pipes and electrical connectors to be properly connected. 3. Search for leakage using the VACUTEC(r) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW: always pressurize the system without smoke, and monitor the flow meter and decay pressure gauge for system leakage. If leakage is present, briefly smoke the system to determine the location of the leakage. Refer to the attachment when connecting the VACUTEC(r) Smoke Machine 625-522BBMW to the evaporative system. Evaporative system leakage is NOT found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan: Only perform the applicable test plans for the faults stored. Do not replace any parts unless a leakage is found using the smoke machine.
