Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication advises the technician vehicles with Regular Production Option Code HP2 may stall after shifting out of park quickly after a key crank. The 2-Mode Hybrid requires a certain amount of engine run time (1-2 seconds) from initial key crank before moving the gear shift indicator out of park. This is a normal condition and no parts should be replaced to try and resolve this concern.

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.
