Bulletin titles as filed with NHTSA.
- Stopped using the lights we had been using due to expense
Replaced with these, but these new lights have to be wired in instead of just clicking in. These are the instructions to wire in.
- Faulty DEF sensors that due to shortage were not replaced
Instead engine software was temporarily modified to account for continued operation with a faulty sensor until replacement sensors were available. This campaign will install an engine control module calibration as well…
