Official summary

Business Navigation (HU Basic) - not possible to downgrade the navigation map. After replacing the HU Basic (Entry Navigation), the version of the navigation map cannot be downgraded to the version of the replaced HU Basic. This is caused by an error in the routing table which is stored in the Central Gateway Module. Therefore, no communication with the map server can be established.

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.
