Official summary

There is a minor error with the Controller Programming instructions included with the accessory remote start kit C960-V7-620. In the current "Registration (programming) of the controller" instructions, step 5 shows an incorrect image. The function button is the lower button. A revised set of instructions are available in the Accessory E catalog and will be included in all kits at the next revision point.

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.
