Official summary

Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) Switch Replace This bulletin involves replacing the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) Switch due to heated steering wheel shutting off too soon. A customer may describe that the heated steering wheel shuts off to soon, usually after 30 seconds and does not achieve satisfactory temperature. This is an intermittent condition and more noticeable at temperatures below 19.5°C (67.1°F).

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.
