Initial publication
• There are “Refill AdBlue” warnings in the cluster. The warnings appear approximately 1,500 - 2,500 miles after
the last top-off.
• When the AdBlue tank is refilled, the vehicle will only accept approximately 1 - 2 gallons of reductant. When
checked manually, the active tank is 50% full or less and the passive tank is full.
• There are no reductant system fault codes stored. If any reductant system fault codes are stored, this TSB
does not apply.
Technical Background
The reducing agent transfer pump V436 may be faulty. The vehicle cannot pump AdBlue from the passive tank to
the active tank. Cars in hot weather regions are more prone to this issue.
Production Solution
An improved transfer pump is available.
