Official summary

TT: Some 2020 model year vehicles may display abnormal Safety Connect operation during PDS due to DCM activation issues. This condition is characterized by no DTCs present and after the initial SOS light flashing sequence after ignition on, neither the red nor green light stays on in the overhead console. To determine if a vehicle is experiencing this condition, connect a Techstream and navigate to: Telematics-Data List - ?Telematics Activation Status?. If this value is displayed as ?Shipping?, continue to the recommendations below, and do not create a TAS case.

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.
