Official summary

This informational bulletin provides information for dealers and technicians about the 1.4L and 1.8L turbocharged engines that use two different suppliers for the oil filter housing, which results in two different filters being used.

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.
