Official summary
It has been brought to our attention that some retailers are receiving invoices for towing charges after the initial claim submission for the WTD65 Steering Column recall. This is a reminder that approved and paid claims can be appended by the retailer to add any missing charges such as towing. Additional details relating to claim appends are available in the Claims Policies and Procedures Manual, Section 13.7.
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
