Service bulletin B012118

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

While engine oil consumption may create a customer inconvenience in the short term it should not cause any drivability problems that would prevent normal day-to-day operational use of the vehicle. Some Class Vehicles will "pass" the oil consumption test (No repair necessary) even though a "Low Oil Level" indicator/message" displayed between required engine oil services. It is important that the engine oil level stays and is maintained above the minimum ("Low Oil Level" indicator/message is not displaying).
