Official summary

Some 2019 Continental vehicles built on or before 11-Feb-2019 may experience a concern where the compass only points north, the clock cannot be set using the Reset Clock to GPS Time feature and/or the navigation will be inoperative. This may be due to a fault with the global positioning system (GPS) antenna, a fault with the communication of the wheel speed and wheel rotation direction information, a fault with the GPS coaxial cable, or a fault with the SYNC module (APIM). Follow normal Workshop Manual (WSM) diagnosis to correct this condition.

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.
