Bulletin Summary
A Delivery Stop has been issued on certain 2014 model year F01, F02 and F15 vehicles produced from June 2013 to mid October 2013.

Affected vehicles in center inventory must not be delivered until the parking brake switch has been replaced. Parking brake switches for the F15 must be ordered VIN-specific. Update: vehicles held at a VDC (port facility) will have the switch replaced before release to a center. Therefore do not order parts for vehicles held at a VDC. Refer to Service Information bulletin B61 20 13 for the part number and complete instructions.Parts for the F01 and F02 are not available at this time. An availability update will be provided by November 20 (1 week).
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
