Summary
"SERVICE BULLETIN - THERE ARE TWO POTENTIAL ISSUES THAT MAY CAUSE THE VSA BRAKING SYSTEM TO APPLY BRAKING FORCE EVEN IF THE DRIVER HAS NOT PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED UNEXPECTEDLY, IT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. • DAMAGE TO AN INTERNAL VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT COMPONENT COULD CAUSE THE VSA SYSTEM TO MISINTERPRET THE SIGNAL AND MAY CAUSE THE VSA BRAKING SYSTEM TO UNEXPECTEDLY APPLY BRAKING FORCE. • FOR VEHICLES WITH VINS BEGINNING WITH 5FN, A GROUND BOLT MAY BE LOOSE. INCREASED RESISTANCE CAUSED BY THIS LOOSE GROUND BOLT MAY CAUSE THE VSA BRAKING SYSTEM TO UNEXPECTEDLY APPLY BRAKING FORCE."
