Official summary

On certain 2021-2022 Elantra vehicles, a coolant leak at the Water Temperature Sensor (WTS) may be observed due to machining burrs at the mounting port of the cylinder head, resulting in improper coolant sealing.

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.
