Page 1 of 4 SUBJECT: HOOD FLUTTER No: TSB-21-42A-005 DATE: June 2021 MODEL: 2022 Outlander CIRCULATE TO: [ ] GENERAL MANAGER [ X ] PARTS MANAGER [ X ] TECHNICIAN [ X ] SERVICE ADVISOR [ X ] SERVICE MANAGER [ ] WARRANTY PROCESSOR [ X ] SALES MANAGER PURPOSE A hood flutter may occur on certain 2022 Outlanders depending on the amount of air flow on the front end of the vehicle. Higher speeds may increase the force of air flow, potentially causing a hood flutter. Countermeasure front end and grill side (both LH/RH sides) weather strips with internal padding have been incorporated into production as of May 2021, to minimize the hood flutter. All units in stock or in transit to your dealership built prior to production countermeasure implementation (see below), must have this procedure performed. All previously sold vehicles should have the procedure performed on a customer complaint basis only. NOTE: If TSB-21-001 has not been completed, that TSB should also be completed in conjunction with the weather strip change. If TSB-21-001 was already completed, please do not re-adjust the hood latch and bumper adjustment. Please review the information below to determine which of the weather strips need to be replaced. AFFECTED VEHICLES UNITED STATES: All 2022 Outlander with production dates prior to April 27, 2021 need "ALL 3" countermeasure weather strips replaced (front end and grill sides - both LH and RH). Certain 2022 Outlander with production dates between April 27, 2021 and May 12, 2021 need the "2" countermeasure weather strip sides (LH/RH) replaced. PUERTO RICO/CANADA: All 2022 Outlander with production dates prior to May 11, 2021 need "ALL 3" countermeasure weather strips replaced (front end and grill sides - both LH and RH).
