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.

Lack of Power When Accelerating in Cold Temperatures: Some customers may complain about lack of power when accelerating in cold temperatures (below 0 degrees F). To avoid slippage, engine power is restricted in cold temperatures, even when the road condition is not slippery. To eliminate this concern, the PCM and TCM control software has been modified to restrict engine power only when tire slippage is detected between the front and rear wheels in cold temperatures. Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

05-001-21-38262021-10-02. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN. Some vehicles may experience the check engine light and automatic transaxle warning light ON with one or more of these DTCs stored in the TCM memory (P0842, P0847, P0872, P0877, P0780, P1738). P0842:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 1 (oil pressure switch B) stuck on, P0847:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 2 (oil pressure switch A) stuck on, P0872:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 3 (oil pressure switch A) stuck on, P0780:00 - Gear shifting malfunction, P1738:00 Automatic transaxle internal malfunction.
