any other service visit. Dealer stock vehicles cannot, however, be delivered to consumers until the
Update is completed.
To identify any vehicles in your inventory that are affected by this Update, please run the “New and
CPO Inventory Open Campaign/Action Listing” report from the OMD Web system.
Dealers must ensure that every affected vehicle gets the update before delivery to consumers. Your
