Official summary

PITSTOP - EXTRACTING BMS DATA FOR RANGE CONCERNS PRIOR TO PERFORMING UPDATES - For any customers experiencing a range concern with their vehicle, all Battery Management System (BMS) current data should be extracted and reviewed to verify the current battery State of Health (SOH) before performing any updates.

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.
