INSTALL SOFTWARE FOR NAVIGATION SYSTEM

This Service Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that certain affected vehicles (see VIN range on the following pages) may have an earlier version navigation disc installed than that specified. This could in some cases lead to navigation directions based upon non updated map data. Dealers will update the navigation disc in the affected vehicles as required.

Please review the Effective Serial Number chart located on the following pages, and if necessary, repair the subject vehicles during the vehicle's next service.

Prior to performing this Service Campaign:
- Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
- Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin.

Approximately 12,559 vehicles are affected.








Effective Serial Number Range

NOTE:
Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. VMI must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the campaign is required on a specific vehicle. VMI always overrides the bulletin in reference to a specific vehicle's inclusion in a particular campaign. Please also note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
