Official summary

Some vehicles may exhibit one of the following concerns: ï · Sometimes the shifter may jump out of 3rd gear over a road bump when accelerating after deceleration at 25-40 mph (40-65 km/h) ï · Hard to shift into 3rd, 4th, 5th, and/or 6th gear ï · Shift lever vibrates when driving in 3rd or 4th gear. This is caused by inappropriate transmission internal parts.

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.
