Official summary

This bulletin reminds dealers that SDI Driver Frontal Airbag Inflators should not be returned to the Warranty Parts Portal.

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.
