# Service bulletin 23\-015\-16

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

Water On Front Carpet Or In Rocker Side Sill This bulletin involves visually inspecting the sealer on the engine bulkhead area and water testing to diagnose leak path. Then repairing body seam leaks with sealer. The customer may describe damp or wet carpet in the front footwell or in the rocker sill. This condition is primarily found on the left side but may be on the right \(Fig. 1\) or both footwells. The cause of this leak may be due to a sealant void on the body seam, allowing water to enter the vehicle interior.
