Official summary

"Dealer message - Today, March 30, 2022, Acura is announcing a product update and warranty extension for certain 2015-2020 TLX vehicles to update the PGM-FI software that may affect the idle stop operation and starter under certain conditions.

Perform an iN VIN status inquiry to determine which units in your inventory are affected."

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.
