The Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's) listed here may NOT apply to the vehicle you are working on. You MUST run OASIS with a specific VIN and Symptom Code to determine if it applies. If OASIS does not return the TSB, then it does NOT apply.

An OASIS will show RECALLS specific to your vehicle and stated if it has been performed on your VIN. The TSB's will show nothing specific to your vehicle that I've ever seen. I used to be able to get the full OASIS but can't anymore. There's no secret info that pops out of a TSB when you run your OASIS.
