REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM

  2. the Voice/Push-to-Talk button becoming inoperative/unresponsive
  3. if a phone is paired, inadvertent dialing of the SYNC services number without the customer initiating the SYNC services feature

For vehicles without navigation, this may result in one or more of the following conditions:

  2. TDI/SYNC services becoming inoperative

 

SERVICE ACTION

Before demonstrating or delivering any of the vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to update the TDI application in the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) using a USB drive.  This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner Letters are expected to be mailed the week of October 26, 2015.  Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
