- 10185600When replacing a broken hood grille, an enhanced replacement hood grille is available. This procedure should be used when installing this enhanced grille to make certain that the hood grille is correctly installed.
- 10185597In the event that one of the subject vehicles is driven while the ABS warning lamp is illuminated, operation of the torque converter clutch will be suspended. Driving the vehicle with an ABS warning lamp illuminated can lead to overheating of the transmission fluid due to the torque converter clutch not functioning. A jumper harness has been made available that will allow operation of the torque converter clutch in the event that the vehicle is driven while the ABS warning lamp is illuminated.
- 10185596Subject vehicles may exhibit a concern where manual regeneration does not complete within one hour of depressing the manual regeneration button. In these cases, there will be no indicators showing why manual regeneration will not complete. Check the burner event log to confirm that there is no history of misfire events after the last recorded completion of manual regeneration. If there is no history of misfires to address, updated BCU software is available to address this concern.
- 10185595DPR damage, "Burner misfire due to excessive soot on the burner igniter surface", and "DPR push out" may occur due to the increase in the amount of soot in exhaust gas as a result of engine component degradation. In order to reduce the soot in exhaust gas under this situation, even when the engine components are deteriorated, enhanced ECU software has been released. Reprogram the ECU if the failure conditions stated above occur AND the cause could not be determined after diagnosis.
- 10185573Coe hybrid safety equipment, tools and practices
- 10185456Subject vehicles may exhibit electrical symptoms which can include, but are not limited to erratic operation of the exterior lamps, warning lamps illuminated in the instrument cluster, or erroneous DTC?s (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) setting in various modules. If the subject vehicle exhibits symptoms of this nature, inspect for corroded wire terminals within the electrical junction box on the passenger side of the bulkhead. An enhanced junction box cover and wire harness support are available to reduce the chance of water intrusion into the junction box.
- 10184814Some vehicles that operate in extreme cold weather climates may exhibit ice accumulation on the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) butterfly plate with a repeat P1604 DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) stored in the engine ECU.

- 1011809813-014 An audible seat squeak may occur from the driver seat and/or single occupant passenger seat while driving over rough roads. This audible squeak may be occurring because of contact between the seat back frame and the seat base assembly at the seat pivot area. This technical service bulletin discusses installing a washer between the seat back frame and seat base assembly to increase the gap of these components. This added gap will eliminate the contact point and audible squeak
- 1011809513-010 CORRECTION OF WORKSHOP MANUALS. HINT: In case the DTC P204F has being recorded in the engine ECU, but no DTC has been detected in the DCU, it is safe to think that power supply to the DCU was interrupted before the DTC was recorded into the DCU. In that case, please check for corrosion or abnormalities on the battery terminal. If there is abnormality, clean or replace the battery terminal, and after deleting past DTC, please verify again if P204F is detected.
- 1011809413-008 Design Change of the Idler Gear Case and Idler Gear Bolt. Abnormal load such as a stuck supply pump was applied to gear train then causing the bolt to loosen. Therefore, an enhancement to the case and bolt were carried out. The idler gear case and bolt were changed to increase the robustness for the abnormal load. The details are as follows.
- 1011809313-007 CORRECTION OF WORKSHOP MANUALS. Addition of cautions for filling the DEF. (The actions to be taken if diesel fuel has been mistakenly added into the DEF tank.)
- 1011809213-006 CORRECTION OF WORKSHOP MANUAL. Correction of the terminals to be inspected in the diagnosis procedure of can communication line. (For DTC U0101)
- 1011809113-005 CORRECTION OF WORKSHOP MANUAL. Correction of maintenance interval for DPR filter and DEF filter element in the workshop manual.
- 10118087SB-11-005 INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING AND CLEANING OF THE BREATHER HOSE ON THE DEF TANK. The breather hose can clog up with crystallized DEF, which can cause the DEF to overflow from the tank when filling and not allow the tank to be completely filled.

- 10117746SB-16-006 Some vehicles built before January 2016 and equipped with a leaf spring rear suspension may experience a dislodged or missing spring pad. As an enhancement, the rear axle leaf spring hanger design has been changed to eliminate the spring pad. In the event that one or more spring pads have become dislodged or found missing, all four rear axle leaf spring hangers should be replaced with the enhanced design hangers.
- 10117745Addition of detailed explanation of the fuel pipe installation.
- 10117719TT-14-017 The Bendix AD-IS (P/N: K154348) air dryer on air brake equipped vehicles contains several serviceable components.

These specific components can be replaced while the air dryer is installed in the vehicle.
- 10117718TT-14-016 During service of the exhaust aftertreatment system, the technician may visually find that the insulation within the outer shell of the combustion chamber is pushing out or loose. In the event that loose insulation is found, it is recommended to push the insulation back into the outer shell, or use a utility knife to trim off the excess insulation material. Replacement of the combustion chamber for loose or missing insulation is not recommended and is not a warrantable repair. Missing combustion chamber insulation will not cause any adverse functional effects with the exhaust aftertreatment system.
- 10117702SB-16-015 Enhanced DCU (Dosing Control Unit) software has been released.Illumination of the check engine light. The DCU may falsely detect an issue and record any of the 3 following DTC?s in the DCU. P142A(DEF pump temperature sensor - Out of range) P204B(DEF pressure sensor ? Rationality) P20A1(Reverting valve for DEF pump stuck close) In rare cases, the completion of the after-run process might be mistakenly aborted. This occurs when the ignition key is cycled back on and then off prior to after-run completion. If this occurs when ambient temperatures are below freezing and the urea is allowed to fully freeze, internal damage to the DEF pump may occur. Once damaged, urea could migrate into the DEF pump electrical connector and SCR harness resulting in corrosion. This corrosion could result in detection of any combination of SCR(Selective Catalyst Reductant) DTC?s including but not limited to: P142A(DEF pump temperature sensor - Out of range) P208A(DEF pump motor circuit - Open load) P208B(DEF pump motor - Functional) The enhanced DCU software prevents the after-run process from being aborted prior to completion.
- 10117701SB-16-007 If DTC(Diagnostic Trouble Code) P0611:Fuel Injector Driver Charge Circuit - Circuit Low has set in the engine ECU(Electronic Control Unit) and the workshop manual diagnostic procedure has led to ECU replacement, an enhanced engine ECU is available to prevent this DTC from recurring. Replace the engine ECU with the part number listed below.
- 10117686SB-15-032 Troubleshooting information and Inspection procedure of the DTC/P2030 were revised.
- 10117685SB-15-031 Foreign debris in the DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) tank may cause the SCR (Selective Catalyst Reduction) system to malfunction. This can result in DTC?s (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) P20E8 or P20E9 - DEF Pressure Abnormality. An inlet strainer for the DEF tank has been made available to prevent foreign material from entering the DEF tank.
