Service bulletins for the 2013 Porsche Cayenne

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.

122-X2X7N-072019-07-08. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Notice to dealers that coolants will be moved out of the special tool cabinet in the dealer service department in order to make room for new special tools. All coolant tools will be moved to the "Coolant Cart" because they need to be housed in the same place.
122-T8Y6E-062019-06-24. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR. Instructions for setting the ready status for catalytic converters on Cayenne Diesel vehicles, since there is some difficulty in setting the status when the vehicle is finished having emissions related repairs and is ready to leave the Service Department.
122-X3H4Z-102018-10-15. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE); ENGINE. Cause: Clicking noises can come from around the transfer case when manoeuvring the vehicle (or driving slowly) due to activation of the transfer case servo motor. Remedial action: Before doing any other work, the symptommust be simulated using a test procedure. (Opening the door windows can be helpful when evaluating noises). 1 Conditions for the first test procedure: ? Activate the Start/Stop function and ? deactivate all sources of noise in the vehicle (Entertainment, ventilation, etc.). ? A multi-storey parking garage can be useful for acoustic reverberation. ? Onastraight stretch ? fromspeeds less than 10mph (20 km/h) ? brake the vehicle to a standstill. ? The best way of finding the clicking noise is by driving slowly and then stopping the vehicle.
122-P2Q5Z-102018-10-15. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL. Subject: Documentation of the implementation of AG01 Emissions Recall in the IN-FORM tool Information: The implementation of campaign "AG01 Emissions Recall" was not documented fully according to specifications in the IN-FORM tool on the affected vehicles.
122-R9H5B-072018-08-06. Service bulletin. ENGINE; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY. Concerns: Belt tensioner Information: Checking belt tensioner in the event of a complaint about "leaks" before carrying out any other work.
122-P5G7U-072018-08-06. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING; ENGINE. Oil in the wiring harness. If oil is found in the engine wiring harness during a repair, the wiring harness and all the affected components (including the oil pump control valve) must be replaced.
122-R9H5B-072018-07-30. Service bulletin. ENGINE. Concerns: Belt tensioner Information: Checking belt tensioner in the event of a complaint about "leaks" before carrying out any other work.
122-A6Z3V-032018-03-13. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE). Subject: Intake valves and intake ports Information: Carboned-up valves in the engine can be reworked and cleaned using cleaning equipment. If there is a complaint about knocking combustion, e.g. during acceleration at high load, the condition of the intake valves and portsmust be checked before doing any other work. If the check shows that the intake valves and intake ports have carbon deposits and are dirty, they must be cleaned using the VAS 294 011 - cleaning unit. There should be no need to replace the components. Date of Introduction: The VAS 294 011 - cleaning unit can be ordered immediately for dealers. Remedial Action: The VAS 294 011 - cleaning unit is used for cleaning carboned-up intake valves and intake ports. Compressed air is used to spray a special granulatemixture into the intake port,where it loosens and removes carbon build-up. The dirty granulate is extracted during spraying using an industrial vacuum cleaner.
122-J4H9M-122017-12-14. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; ENGINE. Situation: Cayenne Diesel vehicles were equipped with undisclosed Auxiliary Emission Control Devices which are not permitted by emissions regulations.

122-Q5N4V-102017-11-08. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Reworking Connector on Engine Coolant Level Sensor for Low-temperature Cooling System (Red "engine coolant level" warning message in the instrument cluster/SY2215)? Contact problems with the installed plug contacts in the connector for the engine coolant level sensor on the coolant reservoir (low-temperature cooling system). ? Fluctuations in resistance in the signal chain between the rear-end electronics control unit and the line at the engine coolant level sensor connector (low-temperature cooling system). ? No corresponding fault code is entered in the rear-end electronics control unit fault memory.
122-E7Q7N-052017-09-14. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Concerns: Oil guide housing Information: Oil leak ("sweating", drops of oil) on engine in oil guide housing area We have discovered that the cause of some leaks in the specified area could not be detected and determined definitively in the dealer organisation when attempting to resolve the complaint "Oil leak"1 .
