STOCK VEHICLES

For the benefit of future owners, two letters (TPMS and non TPMS) have been developed specifically for new vehicle inventory. These letters are posted with this bulletin. Dealers are required to print the appropriate letter and insert a copy in the Owner Guide of all affected units in their new vehicle inventory before delivery.

Affected title branded and salvaged vehicles are eligible for this Field Service Action.
