Summary
12138 - customer satisfaction program. Normal engine vibration while in active fuel management (afm) mode may cause the transmission dipstick tube to fatigue and fracture. If this occurs, it could cause a tick or rattle noise from the front of the vehicle. Dealers are to inspect the transmission dipstick tube for a fracture and replace it if necessary. If no fracture is found, dealers are to install a foam sleeve around the tube to absorb the vibration.
