Official summary
On some of the affected vehicles, the gearshift lever reverse lockout feature may not function as intended if the gearshift lever assembly becomes damaged during an aggressive shift event. This may cause some difficulty shifting into first gear because the gearshift lever can travel to reverse without having to lift the reverse lockout mechanism. If the vehicle is in reverse gear, the driver will receive an overt indicator with the reverse backup camera display appearing. The driver can only shift to reverse when the vehicle is stopped.

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.
