What Are Technical Service Bulletins?
Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) are issued by vehicle manufacturers to help automotive technicians diagnose and repair problems reported by consumers and repair shops. It’s amazing how many fixes are found in these bulletins that can’t be found anywhere else. Thousands of bulletins are issued by car manufacturers every year. TSBs contain up-to-date factory fixes for difficult to diagnose problems such as rough idles, intermittent stalls, hard starts, and all kinds of “shakes”, “rattles” and “clunks” that can sometimes drive you nuts. TSBs describe service procedures that may improve performance, reduce future breakdowns, or show a factory authorized modification for your vehicle. The TSB and recall titles for your make, model and year of car gives you an instant overview of the types of TSBs and Recalls on your vehicle. These descriptive titles can be used to narrow down your search within the database, or you can take this list directly to your automotive technician.
