Official summary

This communication notifies dealers that the Class Bridge Warranty extension is no longer valid on Gen 2.1 TDI vehicles because the repair is available.

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.
