Official summary
"techline summary article - does the clock reset or show the wrong time? We re aware of this issue and have it under investigation. A bad chip in the audio unit may be the culprit. This chip works with the gps antenna, which sets the time. If the chip is bad, it won t accurately communicate with the gps satellites, causing the clock to reset or show the wrong time. This can be a tough issue to troubleshoot. The only fix for it is to replace the audio unit. Remanufactured units have been updated. In the near future, we ll be posting a service bulletin."

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.
