NOTE: There are no Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination or related messages displaying in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) for this symptom. **Hatch event only occurs on BEV vehicles without JRC for Power Hatch.** Customers may comment on the following: ● **Battery is depleted. ● When at a full stop and the Engine Stop Start (ESS) has turned off the engine, the engine does not automatically restart once the brake pedal is released. This is accompanied by a chime and a pop-up message on the IPC indicating ESS has aborted. The vehicle can be restarted once shifted into Park and pressing the ignition button. NOTE: These symptoms occur due to the BCM sending an incorrect hood position message. The ESS event only occurs on ICE equipped vehicles.** ● The hatch will not open when a release button (interior, exterior, or Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key (FOBIK)) is pressed. NOTE: **Hatch event only occurs on BEV vehicles without JRC for Power Hatch.** This bulletin involves inspecting and possibly reprogramming the BCM with the latest available software.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11036351-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11036351-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11036351","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null},{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null}],"codes":["B18AA"],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"DODGE","model":"CHARGER","year_from":2026,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2026_dodge_charger"]},{"make":"DODGE","model":"CHARGER EV","year_from":2026,"year_to":2026,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2026_dodge_charger"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
