Service bulletin SC-15-003

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.

NHTSA's summary

Potential Transmission Shudder/Surge-Service Campaign - Certain vehicles with CVT-8 transmissions may exhibit a shudder dcondition at low speeds (10-40 mph) or a surge/flare of engine rpm at higher speeds. This may be caused by a malfunctioning of the CVT's hydraulic pressure control software. In the worst case scenario, with continued driving under these conditions, the CVT belt may become damaged and cause a warning light to turn on.
