Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician the steps to diagnose and repair vehicles that have windows inoperative while the engine is running but work when the engine is off. Technician should look for aftermarket parts and remove them and retest the windows before any in depth diagnostics are performed.

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.
