Official summary

PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN: OWNER NOTIFICATION - This document is the notification to the 2014-2016 MY Soul vehicle owners advising them of the updated warranty coverage for the product improvement (PI2002B). Coverage has been expanded to cover the engine long block assembly for 15 years from the date the vehicle was first put into service or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first, for both new and used vehicle owners upon completion of this Product Improvement Campaign.

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.
