Official summary

Some 2017-2020 Lincoln Continental vehicles may exhibit a concern where the belt minder is difficult to activate/deactivate. This may be due to the procedural timing. The Workshop Manual Section 413-01 has been updated to reflect the corrected timing required for this procedure.

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.
