Software updates to any module other than Software Over The Air (SOTA) configurable components should not be completed as part of the PDI routine unless required by an applicable Recall Action, UPS notice or Service Action Bulletin. The software level has no effect on functionality, so it is not a requirement and will not affect customer usability.
