Official summary
This bulletin announces availability of reprogramming files to optimize the EyeSight camera unit. In some cases, when using the Adaptive Cruise Control feature, the EyeSight system may stop functioning, enter a fail-safe mode and store DTC B280B- VDC ABNORMAL. When the EyeSight system is inoperative, the vehicle operates like a traditional vehicle not equipped with this feature. Normal EyeSight system function is restored after cycling the ignition off and back on again.
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.
