It is also not recommended to order a replacement module using a vehicle identification number (VIN) from a different vehicle. Most modules on these affected vehicles are VIN/vehicle specific and hardware variations between modules do exist. Swapping a module from a vehicle or ordering a module using a different vehicle/VIN can cause ineffective repairs and additional vehicle down time. Make sure all appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM) procedures are followed when diagnosing the condition prior to all module replacements and only order modules using the correct VIN.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10235153-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10235153-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10235153","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body
