INSPECT SPARE TIRE AIR VALVE FOR DAMAGE; REPLACE COLLAPSIBLE SPARE
TIRE IF NECESSARY
This Service Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles (see VIN range below) the spare tire air valve may
have been damaged during manufacture. This may lead to difficulties in inflating the spare tire in the case of a flat tire. The dealer will check the spare
tire air valve, and if necessary replace the affected spare tire with a new spare tire.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart located below, and, if necessary, repair the subject vehicles during the vehicle's next service.
Prior to performing this Service Campaign:
^
Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
^
Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin.
Approximately 4,941 vehicles are affected.
Effective Serial Number Range
Note:
Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. VMI must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the
campaign is required on a specific vehicle. VMI always overrides the bulletin in reference to a specific vehicle's inclusion in a particular campaign.
Please also note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
Procedure
