Official summary

On certain Model S and Model X vehicles, the electrical wires for the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) may be subject to abrasion caused by long term vibration cycling. Abrasion between the EPB wires and the backshell may strip the EPB wire insulation, resulting in water ingress or an electrical short.

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.
