Subject
The Engine Control Module (ECM) on about 26,300 of the above vehicles may have been built with a software error that prevents the EGR cooler
bypass valve diagnostic from running after detecting a pending fault, disabling deNOx without illuminating the MIL. This may cause the vehicle's
exhaust emissions to exceed the allowable limit for oxides of nitrogen.
Repair
The Engine Control Module (ECM) must be reprogrammed (flashed).
