I just got back from my free oil change at the dealership,while
there I talked to tech regarding TSB 18-031-07 and brought in hard
copy of it they weren't aware of it and were suprised I was plus the
copy.
They did the flash update and WOW what a difference,acceleration
has changed dramatically and now I have to check the tach to see if
it's still running.I'll post how it effects mpg for the better or worse.
I also wanted the emergency brake adjusted as I use it everyday
and the handle was getting higher with every week.
It did need adjusting,but you can do it yourself as the tech showed me.
Park on level surface and engage the emerge over and over the handle
will slowly get lower and lower.I had to do it about 30 or so times.

The flash definitely required for my Caliber.

Well the verdict is in as far as I'm concerned,had Tsb#18-031-07
performed 2 weeks ago and filled up the tank.
Using Mopar oil/filters with 100% city driving my mpg has gone
from 27 mpg/imp gal to 32.038 mpg/imp gal.
Taking in summer gas blend and warmer temps with 10532 kms/
abt 6200 miles on odo I am happy Caliber owner.

Get the flash!!!!!!!
