Official summary

This document reminds dealers that Takata SDI Frontal Airbag Inflators replaced with the 69M9 Safety Recall will not be requested for return through the Warranty Parts Portal but will be requested for return through the Takata XPO Return Program.

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.
