Official summary

Tech Tip: My 2013 Gen 7 navigation systems use a USB SST to update the firmware and map. MY 2014 IS and GX models incorporate a Gen 8 navigation system that uses a USB stick to update the firmware ONLY. Refer to the chart below for a comprehensive list of all current and previously issued USB SSts and their applicability.

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.
