Official summary

NO GPS AFTER TOMTOM NAVIGATION ACCESSORY INSTALLATION: When not equipped with TomTom navigation from the factory, the GPS antenna plugs into the handsfree (Bluetooth) unit. When adding TomTom navigation, the cable must be unplugged from the HF unit and plugged into the jumper harness that leads to the navi unit.

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.
