Official summary

Procedure is valid only for vehicles that show the 24AL code in the Elsa Campaign/Action Information screen on the day of repair. Vehicle must be within the FEDERAL EMISSIONS warranty.

The MIL may illuminate for random cylinder misfire if the coolant temperature is between 18° and 36°C.

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.
