Some GHG17 DD Platform Heavy Duty oil pans may experience an issue with the oil pan drain plug insert spinning during removal or installation while completing an oil change. Leaking may also be observed at the drain plug and/or other plugs in the oil pan.

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.
