Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins
The manufacturer has issued service bulletins covering engine on this vehicle — documented repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall (it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.
Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit an incorrectly illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and an illuminated powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator with a reduced engine power condition and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P1061 and/or P032F stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to the software in the PCM.

Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 412-00 Removal and Installation has been updated to eliminate the need to remove and install the A/C compressor to change out the A/C Compressor clutch assembly.

This could be due to a faulty connecting rod bearing that was detected by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Reason for supplement: labor allowances/program term updates
