Service bulletin JK5-14-064

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

Our records indicate that a PRODUCT UPDATE has not been completed on this vehicle; refer to the address card for the affected VIN. The software controlling the IMA battery on your vehicle incorrectly maintains the battery and, over time, the battery develops a memory affect that appears as a reduction in battery capacity. If the software is not updated, it is likely that the vehicle may set a code falsely indicating a deterioration of the battery of pack, or the battery level gauge may suddenly drop to empty and start charging unnecessarily.
