Service bulletin 131-26016

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

Odometer mileage adjustment implications of module substitutions on Emira vehicles. For security, necessary data collection and to ensure the correct vehicle mileage is maintained in the event of a DIM/DHU (Driver Information Module/Display Head Unit) replacement, other specific modules as well as the odometer are constantly recording information such as vehicle speed, operating hours and the total vehicle mileage at the same time. Modules Recording Mileage Data Emira DIM (Driver Information Module) SRS (Supplementary Restraint System) module CEM (Central Electronic Module) VDDM (Vehicle Dynamics Domain Module) ECM (Electronic Control Module) Sometimes components including modules are taken either from stock or substituted/swapped over from other vehicles available to aid in diagnosing the cause of a fault with an owner’s vehicle. Any of the modules listed above must NEVER be fitted from a ‘donor’ (correctly functioning vehicle) for this purpose, as once connected to the faulty vehicle, the module with the highest mileage will overwrite the current recorded mileage stored in ALL those modules to that higher mileage. Never be tempted to swap over any of the modules shown on page 1 of the bulletin for either diagnostic fault finding purposes, or in an attempt to get an Emira back on the road.

The document is the manufacturer's. This site does not hold it. NHTSA files a document at one of these two addresses; we have not asked NHTSA which.

Listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned: the document says which.
