Bulletin Summary

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: DYNAMIC BENDING LIGHT DTC B232509/B232609 - MOISTURE ABSORBENT & BRACKET REPLACEMENT - This bulletin provides information to repair an inoperative Dynamic Bending Light (DBL) by replacing the moisture absorbent and bracket on some 2018-2022MY Stinger (CK) vehicles produced from October 11, 2017 through April 27, 2022, which may exhibit a MIL 'ON' with DTC B232509 or B232609 (active or pending). This may be due to an expanded moisture absorbent causing the bracket to interfere with the DBL module. New parts are available to address this condition (see chart below for details).

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.
