Instead, after 20 minutes of total remote start running time is reached, any further attempts to use remote start will be cancelled automatically (the engine will crank, run momentarily, and then stop). The software also includes on-board diagnostic (OBD) updates to improve vehicle diagnostics.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10175946-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10175946-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10175946","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null},{"id":"exhaust-emissions","name":"Exhaust and emissions","parent":null},{"id":"labels-manuals","name":"Labels and manuals","parent":null},{"id":"software","name":"Software","parent":"electrical"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"PASSAT","year_from":2019,"year_to":2019,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2019_volkswagen_passat"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
