With the complexity of today's vehicles, TSBs are a big deal. Technicians must know where to look, what to look for and how to determine if the TSB is applicable. Also, as more TSBs are issued, it's important to be sure you have access to the very latest ones to ensure the most accurate repair. Let's start at the beginning with what TSBs actually are and why they are issued by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). A TSB - Technical Service Bulletin - is a type of service information released by the OEM based on service issues they are seeing in the field. There are several possibilities of why a manufacturer would release a TSB, including: 1. The OEM could have noticed a pattern failure as the vehicle is driven by consumers. The TSB is written to alert the service technician of the proper way to service/repair the vehicle. 2. The OEM could have erroneous data in their service manual. They then release a TSB to overwrite or replace that incorrect data. |
