This article supersedes TSB 18-2321 to update the Service Labor Time Standards.
Issue: Some 2015-2018 Transit vehicles built on or before 24-Jul-2018 may exhibit various drivability
concerns including difficulty starting, misfires and/or an illuminated MIL with diagnostic trouble codes

P0131 and/or P162F stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to undesired water
entry into the engine compartment directly over powertrain components. To resolve this condition, install
updated water management hardware and/or a revised air cleaner cover.
Action: Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition on vehicles that meet all of the
following criteria:
• 2015-2018 Transit
