Technical Service Bulletin
Beginning with the 2019 model year, the
available color variants for the hood release
lever handle have been reduced from four
colors:
• 4PK (Black).
• SF3 (Pistachio Beige).
• DS2 (Granite Grey).
• MG6 (Rock Grey).
To two colors:
• 4PK (Black).
• SF3 (Pistachio Beige).
The number of available interior colors for the
A-pillar lower trim panel remain the same. As a
result the hood release lever handle may be a
different color than that of the A-pillar lower
trim panel.
