NOTE: This LI supersedes LI14.20‑N‑073813, which is no longer valid. Cause Cause of Complaint A: Increased friction between the EGR Valve blade and seat due to soot deposits causing a delay of the EGR Valve being able to reach the target value of the EGR Valve position controller. NOTE: This causes the EGR Valve blade and potentially the boost pressure controller to oscillate. Cause of Complaint B: Soot deposits between the EGR Valve blade and seat leading to the EGR Valve no longer being able to meet the desired target of the EGR Valve position controller. Cause of Complaint C: Internal EGR Valve or other electrical faults related to the EGR Valve function.

Brakes may lock up when reversing at slow speeds Complaint When reversing slowly, the vehicle erroneously triggers an emergency braking event, causing the brakes to lock up. Engine may not start following a key cycle. Cause The vehicle triggers a maneuvering or emergency braking event while reversing. The customer must then immediately park the vehicle (ignition Switched OFF) The hydraulic pressure release process within the ESP control unit may not be completed. Remedy Updating the software release of the RVC177 reversing camera

Fuel Level Unchanged After Refueling Complaint The customer reports that the fuel gauge shows inaccurate readings or remains unchanged after refueling. Cause The fuel level display may be incorrect due to one or both of the following conditions: 1. The Fuel Supply Control Unit (FSCU) may not recognize a refueling event if the Controller Area Network (CAN) does not enter sleep mode. This may occur if the vehicle is refueled with the engine running, the ignition is switched on during refueling, or aftermarket or upfitter‑installed equipment keeps the vehicle powered. 2. The fuel level sensor float or sensor arm may be restricted by the low‑pressure fuel pump pickup tube, fuel lines, electrical wiring, or an incorrectly positioned component. The fuel level sensor may become stuck above or below the pickup tube and indicate an incorrect fuel level. Similar FSCU actual values do not rule out a mechanical restriction. The fuel level sensor may be physically held at an incorrect position while the two actual values remain similar.
