Official summary

Tech Tip: The purpose for this Tech Tip is to help identify the shift-lock override cover location when performing Pre Delivery Service (PDS). In other models this cover has typically been attached to the shifter in direct view. For Prius C models, the shift-lock override cover is located in the glove box.

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.
