Alarmed Jeep
This bulletin applies to 2011-2012 Jeep Wranglers built before Feb. 16, 2012, and equipped with the Premium Security Alarm option. The customer may complain that the theft alarm siren turns on for no apparent reason. Updating the intrusion module (ITM) will improve the sensor stability which will make it less sensitive to movement.
Fuel in Oil
This bulletin applies to 2013-2019 Chevy Malibu vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine. The MIL may be on, accompanied by DTC P0172 (fuel trim system rich) set in the ECM. The condition may be caused by driving the vehicle in short intervals, allowing excess fuel to collect in the crankcase.
