Official summary
ActiveE: Charging Contact Protective Sleeve. During the performance of the scheduled 3 months/5,000 miles service (Vehicle Check), it may be determined that some of the contact protective sleeves in the charging socket are missing (see page 13 of attachment #4 from SI B00 08 11).

Vehicles covered
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.
