Anybody know anything about this yet? I've been told by my local service department that it was just released and intended to address fuel in the crankcase oil. He said it has something to do with a PCV valve I believe.

Any idea on year/engine etc affected possibly??

The service guy told me that 2011-2014 models could be effected so, all of them I guess. That's why I'm trying to learn more here. Hopefully a tech in the know will chime in.
