Official summary

Some 2016 transit vehicles equipped with a 3.5l gtdi engine may exhibit an illuminated mil with diagnostic trouble code (dtc) p130d and no related performance concern. An occasional spark knock noise may be noticed with this condition. Engineering is currently investigating. Knock sensor replacement will not correct this concern. Clear the dtc and return vehicle to the customer. To assist with the investigation use the report a vehicle concern link at the bottom of the oasis report to submit a global concern report (gcr). Continue to monitor oasis for updates.

Vehicles covered

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
