Official summary

Warranty, customer pay and/or internal repairs performed must be verified by a punched time flag on the back of the Repair Order hard copy. Each repair line must have a separate and identifiable time punch for the respective repair for all repair types, i.e., Warranty, Customer Pay, and Internal.

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.
