Official summary
Reprogramming File Availability for Extended Engine Cranking (Delayed Starting) and Engine Oil Level Detection Improvement. This bulletin announces availability of reprogramming files to address customer concerns of extended cranking time before the engine starts. These files also optimize the ECM for improved engine oil level detection. Replacement of the oil level switch is also required to complement the new logic.
Vehicles covered
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.
