Official summary

Information only. Replacement intake manifolds for CCTA engines have an improved intake manifold flap valve -N316.The new -N316- valve has 3 hose ports rather than 2 (See Figure 1), requiring a fresh air line be installed during intake manifold replacement. This fresh air line will prevent dirt and debris from contaminating the -N316- solenoid.

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.
