Official summary

Dealer Package: 01/14/2020 Instructions included for Op Code usage when no software update is necessary. The engine ECU in the involved vehicles includes certain erroneous transmission related calibration values. As a result, this software does not match the version intended to be used on production vehicles.

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.
