What’s the difference between a recall and a service bulletin?
Is there a difference? Is one covered under warranty and the other for the life of the vehicle?

A recall is covered for life of the vehicle and usually for a safety problem or something that was mandated by the FMCSA to be rectified. Sometimes the FMSCA gets involved, othertimes Daimler Chrysler decides on their own that it needs taken care of. A TSB is a Technical Service Bulletin. It is a document to help technicians diagnose a problem easier. Usually a TSB is made after several technicians have reported seeing a problem that otherwise may be difficult to diagnose.
