# Service bulletin TSB\-13\-42A\-003

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: 10172523
- Published by NHTSA: 2020\-04\-04
- Manufacturer's number: TSB\-13\-42A\-003
- Manufacturer's date: 2013\-03\-12
- NHTSA component: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

## NHTSA's summary

This TSB supercedes TSB\-09\-42A\-015, issued October, 2009, to update affected vehicles, add Outlander Sport and add FAST Key case part numbers. Remote Keyless Entry \(RKE\) integrated key case and FAST Key Transmitter case repair kits are now available. If the plastic parts of the key are broken or missing, but the key functions properly, use the appropriate service parts kit instead of replacing the entire key assembly. When replacing only the key case, it is not necessary to program immobilizer, RKE and OSS functions. For integrated RKE keys, once the electronic components are transferred to the new case, the key can be cut to the vehicle's key code.
