Flash: 5.7L Powertrain Diagnostic And System Enhancements This bulletin involves reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with updated software. During normal diagnostics a technician may find Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U0140 - Lost Communication With Body Control Module (BCM) and when attempting to clear from the PCM with a Scan Tool (wiTECH) will be unsuccessful to do so.

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.
