Official summary

This bulletin was created to inform dealers and techs that an updated linkage is available that provides a remedy for binding linkages to the power actuator. This issue often creates difficulty when locking or unlocking the compartment door using the key and is only relevant on 2016 to early 2019 model year coaches equipped with power baggage locks.

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.
