Official summary
Region Email: The involved vehicles are equipped with an engine oil cooling system. The oil cooling system could experience a small leak due to a manufacturing issue. If a vehicle is continuously operated with this condition, it may result in abnormal engine noise, illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), and an engine oil level low message. Over time, an oil pressure warning message may be displayed on the multi-information display and/or a buzzer may sound.
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.
