Official summary

Situation: the passive unlock/lock function is inoperative and the engine does not start. When this occurs, the use of the emergency key blade is necessary to unlock the vehicle and the emergency start process must be followed for the engine to start.

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.
