Official summary

This bulletin contains repair instructions for when the all wheel drive coupling is stuck on or doesn't engage without DTCs stored.

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.
