Official summary

Service bulletin - The customer states the vehicle did not start due to a low state battery charge. The vehicle?s battery sensor monitors battery condition and the PCM determines charging mode. Based on the sulfation of the battery and customer driving habits, the PCM may not select the correct charge mode.

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.
