The extent of the emissions increase under off-cycle conditions depends upon how the vehicles are driven. Phase 2 A&B. Updated work instructions.

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.
