Official summary

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 57 number 13-98 dated December 9, 2013. Customer may report that the automatic door lock function cannot be deactivated. The ?Lock when driving? (Autolock) configuration setting has been discontinued starting in some model year 2013 vehicles, and it is no longer available in the Car >> Vehicle Settings category in the MMI. The vehicle can still be unlocked while it is being driven, at any time, with the central locking switch in the door.

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.
