02-009-16-31552017-05-30. Service bulletin. STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR. SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS OFF CENTER MORE THAN 3° EVEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A FLAT ROAD.
05-002-16-31292017-05-26. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE NEW SKYACTIV-DRIVE FW6A-EL AT USES “AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) TYPE: FZ”. ONLY USE “ATF-FZ” TO FILL OR TOP OFF THE FLUID LEVEL. ATF-FZ IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR USE IN THE SKYACTIV-DRIVE SERIES AT. IT IS A LOW VISCOSITY FORMULA WITH LESS FRICTION FOR BETTER FUEL ECONOMY. NOTE: ATF-FZ IS COLORED BLUE FOR EASY IDENTIFICATION. TO CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL, REMOVE THE BOLT, THEN REMOVE THE DIPSTICK. THE DIPSTICK IS MARKED WITH A “FZ” ON SKYACTIV-DRIVE FW6A-EL AT. WHEN FINISHED, INSERT THE DIPSTICK AND INSTALL THE BOLT.
09-003-16-31302017-05-26. Service bulletin. EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS; EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS. SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN OF CONDENSATION/FOG INSIDE THE FRONT (HEADLAMP/HEADLIGHT) OR REAR (TAILLAMP/TAIL-LIGHT) COMBINATION LIGHTS. THE RECENT NEW MODELS HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH A CLEAR LENS WHICH CAN CAUSE THE SYMP-TOM TO BE MORE NOTICEABLE, HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE LIGHT. THIS CONDENSATION/FOG IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON THAT OCCURS WHEN THERE IS A FAIRLY LARGE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE LIGHT HOUSING. IT IS NORMAL FOR VERY SMALL WATER DROPS TO APPEAR IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS ON THE LIGHT UNITS WHERE THE AIR IS STAGNANT (CONDENSATION), MAKING THE LENS LOOK WHITISH (FOG). THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY IN THE CORNERS AND NARROW SPACES, AND WILL TYPICALLY CLEAR DURING WARMER AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, OR WHEN THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR SOME TIME. EXPLAIN TO THE CUSTOMER THAT THIS IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON AND NOT A QUALITY DEFECT. DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS AS THIS IS CONSIDERED NORMAL, AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. REPLACING THE LIGHT UNIT WILL NOT CORRECT THIS SYMPTOM.

SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS: • HARD TO SHIFT INTO 3RD, 4TH, 5TH, AND/OR 6TH GEAR. • SOMETIMES THE SHIFTER MAY JUMP OUT OF 3RD GEAR OVER A ROAD BUMP WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER DECELERATION AT 25-40 MPH (40-65 KM/H) THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAILURE OF THE RELATED CLUTCH HUB(S). TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF HARD SHIFTING, THE SHAPE OF THE 3-4 AND 5-6 CLUTCH HUB HAS BEEN CHANGED. A SURFACE TREATMENT HAS NOW BEEN ADDED TO THE 3-4 CLUTCH HUB TO PREVENT 3RD GEAR FROM JUMPING OUT.
02-001-15-29982017-05-25. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A CREAKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS. THE NOISE OCCURS AT APPROX. 12 - 25 MPH (20 - 40 KM/H) WHEN THE ROAD SURFACE IS WET OR AFTER A CAR WASH. THE NOISE BECOMES MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING OVER HIGHER BUMPS. THE CREAKING NOISE IS CAUSED WHEN THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING(S) (A) BECOME WET.
02-002-15-30022017-05-25. Service bulletin. TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS. AFTER PERFORMING RECALL CAMPAIGN 8014J, SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING LIGHT ON EVEN IF THE TPMS SYSTEM HAS BEEN PROPERLY INITIALIZED AT THE SPECIFIED TIRE AIR PRESSURE. THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY IMPROPER TIRE AIR PRESSURE DETECTION BY THE TPMS SYSTEM ON CERTAIN TYPES OF ROAD SURFACES.

THIS CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED BY A/C REFRIGERANT LEAKING FROM THE EVAPORATOR. SOME DEFORMED EVAPORATOR TUBES SLIPPED THROUGH QUALITY INSPECTION AND WERE USED DURING PRODUCTION. A/C REFRIGERANT LEAKS FROM IMPROPER BRAZING AT A JOINT. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE PRODUCTION AND INSPECTION CONTROL OF THE EVAPORATOR HAVE BEEN IMPROVED.
02-003-15-29902017-05-25. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A KNOCKING / SQUEAKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT STRUT BEARING (A) WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS AND/OR WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. THE NOISE MAY BE DUE TO UPPER FRONT STRUT BEARING DAMAGE OR IT MAY BE DUE TO STICK/SLIP BETWEEN THE FRONT STRUT BEARING AND COIL SPRING. TO ELIMINATE THE NOISE, THE FOLLOWING MASS-PRODUCTION CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE: 1. THE MATERIAL AND PRODUCTION METHOD OF THE FRONT STRUT BEARING HAS BEEN CHANGED. 2. A PROTECTOR HAS BEEN INSTALLED ONTO THE COIL SPRING. NOTE: THE PISTON ROD NUT (B) REQUIRES REPLACEMENT WHEN THE FRONT STRUT BEARING IS REPLACED.
09-004-15-30002017-05-25. Service bulletin. SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT AN INOPERATIVE SEAT WARMER (OR SEAT HEATER) ON THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN WEIGHT IS APPLIED TO THE SEAT, PART OF THE HEATER ELEMENT WIRE MAY COME OUT OF POSITION AND BECOME BENT. UNDER REPEATED STRESS, THE WIRE MAY BREAK CAUSING AN INOPERATIVE SEAT WARMER CONDITION. AN ADDITIONAL ADHESION TREATMENT HAS BEEN APPLIED TO ELIMINATE THE HEATER ELEMENT WIRE FROM COMING OUT OF THE POSITION.
09-007-15-30112017-05-25. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. SOME VEHICLES MAY HAVE THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) OFF INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHING AND DTC U3000:54 STORED IN MEMORY.

09-008-15-29912017-05-25. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN ABOUT ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS. 1. SMS/TEXT CANNOT BE DOWNLOADED WHEN CONNECTED VIA BLUETOOTH. 2. OPERATIONAL CONCERNS WHEN PLAYING A MEDIA DEVICE (IPOD, USB STICK ETC.) CONNECTED VIA THE USB PORT. A. AFTER THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON, IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO LOAD ALL THE DATA FROM THE DEVICE BEFORE STARTING PLAYBACK. DEPENDING ON THE DATA VOLUME, IT CAN TAKE UP TO SEVERAL MINUTES. B. AFTER THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON, THE PLAYBACK ALWAYS STARTS FROM THE FIRST TRACK. IT DOES NOT START FROM THE LAST PLAYING TRACK/POSITION WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. THESE CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED BY THE SOFTWARE OF THE BLUETOOTH/HANDS-FREE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE USB CONNECTION. TO IMPROVE THESE CONCERNS, THE SOFTWARE OF THE BLUETOOTH/HANDS-FREE MODULE HAS BEEN CHANGED. NOTE: THE UPDATED SOFTWARE OF THE BLUETOOTH/HANDS-FREE MODULE WILL ONLY ADDRESS SMS/TEXT CONCERNS FOR THE APPLE® IPHONE AT THIS TIME.
01-003-15-30142017-05-25. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT. USE THE FOLLOWING REPAIR PROCEDURE TO MINIMIZE THE NEED TO REPLACE THE CATALYST CONVERTER/EXHAUST PIPE WHEN REMOVING OXYGEN SENSORS AND/OR AIR FUEL RATIO SENSORS.
09-009-15-30152017-05-25. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE STAINS APPEARING ON THE HOOD, ROOF AND/OR TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CONCERN IS MOST LIKELY TO BE FOUND IN A COLD WEATHER AREAS JUST AFTER THE RAPGARD IS REMOVED AT PDI. THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY MOISTURE WHICH HAS BEEN TRAPPED AND CONDENSED BETWEEN THE PAINT AND THE RAPGARD. THESE TYPES OF STAINS CAN BE REMOVED WITH A HEAT GUN OR AN INFRARED DRIER. IF YOU ENCOUNTER THIS CONCERN DURING PDI, USE A HEAT GUN OR AN INFRARED DRIER TO APPLY HEAT TO THE AFFECTED AREA TO REMOVE THE STAIN(S).

THE NOISE: • DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE’S SPEED ONLY (THE MORE SPEED, THE MORE NOISE) • OCCURS WITH ALL TYPES OF DRIVING (ACCELERATION, DECELERATION, STEADY SPEED) • DOES NOT DEPEND ON RPM, GEAR, OR ATF TEMPERATURE THIS IS CAUSED BY A DAMAGED BEARING IN THE TRANSAXLE DUE TO IMPROPER CONFIGURATION OF THE TRANSAXLE CASE. A MODIFICATION HAS NOW BEEN IMPLEMENTED ON AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLES WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER 3TR1111680 AND HIGHER OR 3TD1104906 AND HIGHER.
