Official summary

Some vehicles may exhibit a condition where the door locks cycle without any operator input of a door lock switch or keyless remote assembly. In limited cases this condition may be caused by grease contamination in the door lock switch. The following procedure is available to inspect and diagnose this condition. Replacement instructions for the door wire harness and door lock actuator are also provided in this bulletin.

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.
