Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have the alarm sounding when learning new key fobs after the original key fobs were lost. Technician will open the driver?s door and allow the Content Theft Deterrent alarm to activate, which will pulse the horns and exterior lamps for approximately 30 seconds and the alarm will shut off at this time. As long as the driver?s door remains open the alarm will not turn back on and the new transmitters can be programmed.

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.
