Condition

Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and/or felt in the driveline while applying or releasing the throttle quickly.

Cause

The control system software may not totally be effective in controlling torque reversals through the driveline. This heightens driveline sensitivity to tip-in/tip-out clunk.

Correction

Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-04-017 for repair information.

Dealer Action

Contact customers that were told they would be notified when a repair became available.
