The records describe a problem worth checking before purchase.

“Dealer Package: 12/10/2019 Vehicle total has increased by approximately 1,100 vehicles. Vehicles were moved from Customer Support Program 19TE12 and added to Limited Service Campaign K0P. The Data Communication Module (DCM) in the subject vehicles are equipped with software to identify the location of the vehicle using the Global Positioning System (GPS) to support features of the Safety Connect system. Due to incorrect programming in the DCM software, after November 2nd, 2019, the GPS coordinates for this system will be calculated incorrectly. This will cause the system to use incorrect vehicle coordinates if one of the system?s features is activated.”
