Quick answer

Some 2024 Nautilus vehicles may have a clock that is inaccurate and/or weather information may not be able to update along with the inability to sign-in to Google Automotive Services to update or edit a profile. During this time the Google Map may also not display in the panoramic display screen next to the speedometer. This may be due to a concern with the telematics control unit (TCU) module software. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and that engineering is currently working on revised TCU module software for this concern. Monitor OASIS for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available. Note that it is normal for the Google Map to not appear in the panoramic display when in calm mode or when using the Waze app.

What this bulletin may mean before buying

Treat this as service research, not a verdict on one car. Before you buy, compare this communication with official recall campaigns, model-level owner complaint patterns, and the exact vehicle’s VIN-decoded specifications. A bulletin can help you ask a seller or dealer sharper questions about software updates, known repairs, warranty extensions and service history.
