INSTALL SHIM PLATES BETWEEN FRONT EXHAUST SYSTEM BRACKETS AND TRANSMISSION
This Service Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles (see VIN range on the following page) the
protective coating on the front exhaust system brackets may wear from vibration over time. Dealer will install shim plates between the front exhaust
system brackets and the transmission to reduce wear to the protective coating.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart located on the following page, 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 45,633 vehicles are affected.
