SummaryThis bulletin announces availability of reprogramming files to optimize the Battery Energy Control Unit (BECU) which is a component part of the HEV battery pack. The new files address the BECU logic used for detection of the HEV battery pack temperature. After the engine is shut off, the battery pack generates a certain amount of self-discharge heat by design. Existing BECU logic uses a threshold for the amount of this heat which is too low. As a result, the Hybrid Motor Assist Regeneration (HEV battery recharge) system and Auto Start Stop features stop operating. In addition to these reprogramming files to address this condition, a design change was made to the replacement battery pack in support of this software update.

SummaryThis Service Information bulletin announces a design change to the clutch release bearing used on the models as listed above. During assembly of the bearing, a different type of grease is used which has a higher resistance to heat. In cases where the operator keeps a foot on the clutch pedal for extended periods, an increased amount of heat is generated which can cause the grease inside the bearing to deteriorate. In a case of prolonged clutch pedal application, seizure of the bearing can occur with potential damage to other related components.

SummaryThis bulletin provides a service procedure to address a gap between the top edge of the door and the instrument panel on the models listed as shown in the photo below. The gap may also make the glove box door difficult to close fully.There is a latch to keep the glove box closed on both sides of the glove box door. If the door is closed without using enough force to engage both latches or by pushing it shut on just one side instead of in the middle, one may close and not the other. Over time, if the door is not fully closed with both latches, high cabin temperatures along with weight of the items inside the glove box may cause the assembly to deform slightly and a gap to develop.
