Official summary

It has come to our attention that there may be a potential parts quality issue with certain remote engine starter kits. We are asking that dealers please check their inventory and identify any bad lots (listed below) and return them to their facing warehouse. All of the rdc s have sorted and removed any inventory that may be affected.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
