quarter 2019. In the interim, replace all 4 VCT units and update the PCM calibration. Do not replace
other cam drive related components unless inspection identifies a concern. Refer to the Workshop
Manual (WSM), Section 303-01. Claim labor replace VCTs using published labor operations and
PCM programming using M-time. Part availability is currently limited. Dealers should order parts only
when required to complete a repair. Once the parts are ordered, the vehicle may be returned to the
customer to drive. This condition does not affect long term durability or performance.
