Official summary

TSB: Revision Notice: The Required Tools & Equipment section has been updated. Lexus models equipped with the HDD Navigation (EMV-N) System will periodically require an update to the Gracenote® Database. Gracenote® includes detailed information for songs (e.g., Genre, Artist, Song Title, Album Name, etc.). The Gracenote® update will be included on the Map Update SST. A Gracenote® update must be performed before a Navigation Map Update. A Navigation Map Update is not required to complete the Gracenote® update. Use the process described in this bulletin to perform the update.

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.
