SC242_TSB2022-08-26. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN. VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN: TRANSFER CASE LEAKAGE/OVERHEATING WHEN USING SPARE TIRE (SC242) - This bulletin provides the procedure to inspect the front wheel transfer assembly for oil leakage and update the 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) (also referred to as All-Wheel Drive [AWD]), coupling operation logic software on certain 2021-2023MY Seltos (SP2) AWD vehicles equipped with Nu 2.0L MPI engine, produced from November 20, 2019 through May 18, 2022.
