Service bulletin 16-001-13
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
Driveline Vibration This bulletin involves inspecting for a correct drive shaft center support bearing bracket and replacing the bracket if the bracket is incorrect. A small number of vehicles were built with an incorrect drive shaft center support bearing bracket. The bracket on these vehicles may have an incorrect height which could allow the drive shaft to operate at an angle that could cause the driveline to vibrate while the vehicle is in motion.

| 1805014 | 2023-01-17. Service bulletin. Flash: Drone or Vibration Present During MDS Operation This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with new software. New PCM software is being released to address a customer?s concern of a drone or vibration type condition while driving at highway speeds during MDS (Multiple Displacement System) operation.In addition, the following powertrain system improvements/enhancements are also included in this software release: Improved Electronic Voltage Regulator control to more precisely maintain system voltage. Enhanced Automatic Oil Change Indicator(EAOCI) system improvements to switch to a severe duty cycle algorithm anytime the PCM is replaced to ensure the customer receives a timely oil change required message. (Only applies to vehicles using a block heater in ambient temperatures greater than -20°F(-29°C)). |
