Official summary

ACTIVE PARK DISTANCE CONTROL (PDC): UNDESIRED BRAKING. This Service Information Bulletin (Revision 1) replaces SI B66 17 19 dated August 2019. What's New: Procedure - changed ISTA version. The vehicle applies the brakes on its own when reversing onto an inclined roadway or driveway. This applies only to the situation where the Active PDC option is activated via the iDrive.

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.
