Official summary

TT: When repairing a 1234YF HVAC system on a gas powered (Non-Hybrid) Toyota and the addition of compressor oil is required to complete the repairs, the various 1234YF compressor oils (ND-12, PS-D1, or VC100YF) are available through the Toyota Approved Dealer Equipment website.

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.
