NOTE: No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) or Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) are set because the system is functioning as designed. NOTE: This may appear as an ESS stall, but it is actually a controlled inhibit, not a malfunction. NOTE: The condition is difficult to reproduce due to the timing window required. This bulletin involves inspecting and possibly reprogramming the PCM and Transmission Control Module (TCM) with the latest available software.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11033870-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11033870-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11033870","components":[{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"JEEP","model":"GRAND CHEROKEE","year_from":2026,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2026_jeep_grand-cherokee"]},{"make":"JEEP","model":"GRAND CHEROKEE L","year_from":2026,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2026_jeep_grand-cherokee-l"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
