Official summary

Our records indicate that a backend systems (cellular network) issue disrupted the Car-Net registration process for vehicles included in this service action. As a result, the green light for the Car-Net system is not on. In order for these owners to get the 5-year Car-Net remote access package that came with the vehicle, a manual reset of the Car-Net module is required.

Vehicles covered

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.
