Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that the front and/or rear heated seats are inoperative and/or the driver's power seat only moves in short bursts each time the seat switch is operated. Technician will need to reprogram only the affected module (Memory Seat Module, Rear Heated/Vented Seat Module, or Front Seat Heating Control Module) with updated calibrations in Tis-2-Web.

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.
