Official summary

It has been established that the water drain in the right front end area is inadequate. Water at the right front end may not drain off properly. This can result in various Check Control messages and the failure of various systems (e.g. Park Distance Control (PDC), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), window washer system). We would therefore like to optimize the water drain.

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.
