Reason
This update program is intended to eliminate the possibility that the MIL light illuminates as the result of fault code "DTC 00560"
Remedial Action
Install a new intake manifold including a new engine control module (ECM).
Owner Notification Mailing/Work Schedule
Because the problem is likely to occur only rarely, we do not plan to notify owners. We do not expect the engine performance to be significantly
affected.
Due to an initially limited supply of replacement parts, repairs should be performed with the following priorities:
First Priority
Vehicles with a customer complaint and inventory vehicles scheduled for retail delivery.
Second Priority
Vehicles brought to your dealership by the owner for regular repair or maintenance service.
Program Verification
It is important that you check your V-Crest system for the "open" TV Action code prior to performing any work to ensure that the vehicle is affected by
this action. We will not reimburse you for any update work on a vehicle which is not affected by this action.
Parts Supply
The following parts are required for this updating program of which an initial supply will automatically be shipped to you according to your vehicle
