Service bulletin M1720
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
SERVICE BULLETIN M1720 (REV A): PAN AMERICA ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) UPDATE. PURPOSE: Initial release 3/3/2026. Revision A. 3/30/2026. Updated: Purpose for Service Bulletin and Required Dealer Action. Adjust information for 2024 models. Purpose for Service Bulletin. This bulletin informs dealers that there is an Electronic Control Module (ECM) update available for 2021-2025 RA1250, RA1250S, RA1250ST and RA1250SE on Digital Technician II (DT II). The update improves engine function by addressing engine operation after a cold start by improving idle stability and improved Quickshifter function. For 2021-2024 models the Body Control Module (BCM) and ECM update must both be completed. If only the ECM is updated, a nuisance Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U040000 will populate and not be able to be cleared. Because of this, the BCM update should be done first and then the ECM.
