Certain vehicles equipped with a 1.5L LFV engine may have a pre-ignition condition that could cause piston damage. If this condition occurs, the vehicle may perform poorly and oil consumption could increase. In addition, a service engine light may illuminate indicating an engine misfire. If the condition is present, and the repair below is not completed before multiple pre-ignition events occur, a piston may be damaged and the engine may need to be repaired or replaced. Reprogram the Engine Control Module (ECM) and change the engine oil with ACDelco dexos 1 Full-Synthetic motor oil of the part number as indicated in the parts section. (In Canada use the exact Mobil 1 part number specified in the parts section). It is very important that only oil with the correct part number is used in this repair.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10113371-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10113371-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10113371","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null},{"id":"ignition","name":"Ignition","parent":"electrical"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"MALIBU","year_from":2016,"year_to":2017,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2016_chevrolet_malibu","2017_chevrolet_malibu"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
