# Service bulletin SB\-20\-002

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 id: 10176879
- Published by NHTSA: 2020\-07\-02

## NHTSA's summary

Dual electric motors may experience reduced reliability or life\-span, due to allowing fluid ingress without egress. The issue will be addressed with gasketing to prevent fluid ingress, and installation of at least one drain\-hole to ensure fluid egress. Based on field reports, the issue of fluid ingress without egress has occurred when the vehicle is stationary and not being operated on a public road/ highway. Therefore, at this time there is no data to suggest a regulatory or safety issue that would require a recall.
