Service bulletin MC120225
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
Engine is difficult to start or does not start when at operating temperature, but after the vehicle coolsthe engine will start. This is caused by increased engine slip torque when the engine is at operatingtemperature in conjunction with a weak battery.
