Official summary

Some 2018-2019 EcoSport vehicles built on or before 01-Jul-2019 may have the auto lock feature disabled. To enable this feature, use the FDRS scan tool and reprogram the body control module (BCM). For claiming, use causal part 15604 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.

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.
