Official summary

TSB: To minimize battery discharge during transportation and storage, the Short Pin has been removed at the assembly plant and temporarily stored in the engine compartment Relay Block. Reinstall the Short Pin into its original location and confirm all related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are cleared during Pre-Delivery Service (PDS). NOTE: The short pin is removed only on vehicles going to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Saipan, Guam, and American Samoa.

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.
