What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationThere may be a restriction in the low-pressure fuel line at the tank flange for the in-tank delivery pump (lowpressure pump). As a result, the required fuel flow volume is not available. If there is an insufficient supply offuel (even if only for a very brief period), the high-pressure pump might suffer preliminary damage. Inaddition, in the event of a fault, there might be a power reduction or “jerking� motions while driving.

A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.
